<p>An improved bulk vending machine coin mechanism and counter combination is provided. The combination coin mechanism and coin counter comprises a coin mechanism (100) designed to be partially received into an opening in a bulk vending machine (10), having a selectively rotatable cam (140). The coin counter (200) is attached to a portion of the coin mechanism inside of the bulk vending machine, and has a numeric display (210) and a pivotally mounted switch (230) connected to the display by at least one lead. A portion of the switch is in contact with the cam, which, due to its eccentric shape, causes the switch to pivot upon the rotation of the cam, causing the numeric display to advance one number for each full rotation of the cam.</p> |
