An improved coin chute for actuating commercial coin operated machines such as clothes washers and dryers wherein up to ten coins or more can be inserted simultaneously. The coins are measured for acceptability and, if accepted, are transferred to the coin receptacle in a smooth motion without having the coins internally block the mechanism. Acceptance or rejection of the coins occurs without the coins having left the sight of the user. Certain price changes can be accomplished without replacing any components, and several different price levels can be set externally to achieve different desired modes of machine operation.
