An anti-stuffing lead-in-chute device for coin acceptor on a payphone, having an assembly of a multi-angled lead-in-chute which communicates at its top gripping point with a draw bar on a lever. Said lever, in response to manual operation of the coin return release, pulls down said gripping point on top of said lead-in-chute assembly so that an outside plate opens up from its bottom. In the meantime, an arm, sitting between two panels, pushes center plate which in turn kicks out stuffing when a conventional plate on coin mechanism pops out in response to manual operation of coin return release. Also in response to manual operation of the coin return release, a thin spring hook rotates up and around an axis to facilitate clearance of stuffing near the coin slot. The entire assembly returns to its normal working position after releasing stuffed tissue, cloth or similar material.
