Abstract (en)

A machine which incorporates a mechanism, such as a solenoid operated payslide, for releasing a coin, has a piezo electric element positioned to be struck by a released coin. This is connected to circuitry which generates an electrical signal when the element is struck. Thus an electrical signal is given as verification of a coin release.
