Vending Machine Coin Acceptor
GD-007 Single Coin Acceptor
Coin acceptor modules accept currency coins which can be suitable for various vending machines. Coin acceptor modules are available in multiple categories including single coin acceptors, comparable type coin acceptors, multi-coin coin acceptors, etc. The Single coin acceptor is specially designed to accept only a specific coin. A comparable type of coin acceptor is used to accept the coins that are similar to the coins put aside the coin acceptor. Multi-coin coin acceptors can accept different coins with one machine, and output different signals to the microcontroller.
The coin-accepting sensor device has an inbuilt microcontroller that takes data from the sensor inside the device and collects different coins. Using this data, the microcontroller knows whether this coin needs to be accepted or returned. The device is easily programmed using a push button located on the top. The coin acceptor device gives us an impulse signal on the output pin for every inserted coin and by counting impulses we know how many coins have been inserted. It also has three switches which we use in order to select the type of signal we want to get on the output. The first switch has three positions to select the impulse length. The second switch is used to set the signal to be +5 V(NC) or 0 V(NO). Using the 3rd switch, the precision of the device can be chosen.

1. Why do vending machines reject coins?
- The vending machine will reject money that was legitimately created but improperly minted. The vending machine will think the money is fake and will just reject.
2. How can a vending machine detect the type of coin inserted by the user?
- Vending machines use light sensors to measure the size of a coin and electromagnets to detect the metal type to determine what kind of coin it is.
3. How does a coin acceptor work?
- The coin acceptor identifies the coin according to its mass, size, diameter, thickness, metal composition, and/or magnetism, and then sends an appropriate electrical signal via its output connection.
4. What is a vending machine coin acceptor?
- Coin acceptor modules accept currency coins which can be suitable for various vending machines. Coin acceptor modules are available in multiple categories including single coin acceptors, comparable type coin acceptors, multi-coin coin acceptors, etc. The Single coin acceptor is specially designed to accept only a specific coin. A comparable type of coin acceptor is used to accept the coins that are similar to the coins put aside by the coin acceptor. Multi-coin coin acceptors can accept different coins with one machine, and output different signals to the microcontroller.
