Machines Reject Phony Coins
Students using the numerous vending machines on the campus should take a second look at any rejected coins.
The coin that a vending machine kicks back may be counterfeit. Modern vending machines are designed to reject counterfeit coins and slugs that insult their "intelligence."
"The worst trouble we have is caused by slugs, filed-down pennies, and lead castings. It's not the fact that we lose so much money as it is that counterfeits generally plug the mechanism and put the machine out of order," said Kevin Remick, concessions manager of the Kansas Union.
To work the vending mechanism, a coin must first pass the coin slot, clear a magnet, slip through a restraining wire, and pass a size gauge.
In Mr. Remick's office is a cardboard box with 36 filed-down pennies, three foreign coins about the size of a quarter with holes in their centers, four electrical conduit slugs—one ground by an emery wheel to the size of a quarter, and one lead casting.
There is also 'one badly-battered nickel' and a slug advertising beer. "These were all taken from plugged machines. The number of

counterfeits that gets past the machines is so small that it is hardly worth considering." Mr. Remick said.
Last summer, there was about a $25 loss in counterfeits passed through the vending machines on campus, he said.
In examination of the coins in the cardboard box, there was only one penny which resembled the size of a dime.
"...and it plugged the machine," said Mr. Remick.
The rest of the pennies were misshapen and irregular. The three foreign coins had been trapped by the wire finger that "feels" along the coin slides. Each of the electrical conduit slugs was stopped by the
magnet that tests each coin for metallic content. The badly-battered nickel caught in the size gauge, and the beer slug was too light to push past the restraining wire.
"Sticky coins also will plug up the machine. Once in a while we'll find someone has poured a soft drink down a coin slot. Sometimes we find coins at the top of the slot because of one sticky piece at the bottom." Mr. Remick commented.
Mr. Remick also said that a liquid will plug the change ejector, and the machine will require a quarter for a ten-cent drink.
New coins cause trouble, too, because the size gauge is set close for old, worn change, he said.
