What is the point in spending $600 or more for a relative simple mechanical device which can't tell a cheap washer from a $2 coin apart, yet for the same amount of money you could have a fully technologically advanced product which will be able to provide great service for many years to come.

After seeing some of the products on the market, we have been asking this question ourselves.

So we decided to come up with an all-rounder.

A coin box which:

• Can be set to almost any amount.

• Rejects anything other than the required coins.

• Won't take payment if power is off  (unlike mechanical devices).

• Can be mounted either on the side or on top of machines.

• Displays amount already paid.

• Displays remaining time.
