Re: Coin Deposit Machines

What would they do if fed with metal discs of the same size and mass as genuine money?

Just to be an arse ;-)

You would be surprised at the amount of checks they do on a single coin ...
Measure the weight
Measure the size
Compare the position of both face and tail
Measure electrical resistance
Velocity the coin travels through the slot
And i remember someone saying about the air pressure it creates as it goes througj the channel, but not to sure on that one...

I was technical lead on integrating several coin operated kiosks into the network at work.

Re: Coin Deposit Machines

We ended up using the Natwest one - and my friend paid it in to her account and gave us the cash - we had £284 - so that helped with the christmas shopping!!!!

No - non-monetary metal discs (as well as plastic or wooden discs) might turn up in change, having been used to release supermarket trolleys, or to operate less sophisticated 'coin in the slot' machines.
