We typically ascribe this to the coin mechanism from gumball machines.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 06/17/2023 8:07 pm Unable to fully evaluate since your photos are distorted by overmagnification beyond the 800x800 pixels the board recommends. Please use a size of 800x800 or so because that tends to make a sharper image, and works with more equipment which allows more members to participate. Report this Post to the Staff
