PCT No. PCT/GB95/02126 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 5, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 5, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 7, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/07991 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 14, 1996A movable gate member (34) of a coin gate (24) is provided with lugs (70) which extend downwardly from the gate member (34), at least partly in the direction of travel of a coin through the gate. The lugs (70) trap a tethered or captive coin by hooking the coin if the coin is pulled back towards the gate by its tether. The lugs (70) may have a ramp shape for urging the coin progressively away from the open edge of the gate member, and slots (76) may be formed in the gate member for receiving the tether.
