How it Works

1. Travels up a belt drive mechanism
2. Drops though a series of slides
3. Is lifted again up through a spiral chamber
4. Is dropped into a moving arm & is carried across the bank where…
5. Another series of slides receives the coin, then…
6. A second moving arm comes to pick up the coin, drop it into a slot, then on to a track on the outside of the bank then into the bank for safe keeping

Once the coins are safe, the electronic sensor system automatically shut off the bank, waiting for the next coin to be deposited.
