A coin chute release mechanism for use in the coin escrow (10) of a coin operated telephone instrument is provided with a coin stop (12) at which the leading coin (11A) of a accession of coins (11A, 11B...) in the escrow (10) is supported on a shutter (13). The shutter (13) is arranged to be laterally displaceable to expose a coin release opening (14) in the floor (10A) of the escrow. The coin supporting surface (13A) of the shutter is arranged to lie a distance below the floor (10A) of the escrow (10) to minimise the risk that the next coin following the last coin to be released from the escrow (10) will interrupt the return movement of the shutter (13). <IMAGE> |
