<strong>How it Works</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Travels up a belt drive mechanism</li>
<li>Drops though a series of slides </li>
<li>Is lifted again up through a spiral chamber</li>
<li>Is dropped into a moving arm &amp; is carried across the bank where…</li>
<li>Another series of slides receives the coin, then…</li>
<li>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</li>
</ol>
<p>Once the coins are safe, the electronic sensor system automatically shut off the bank, waiting for the next coin to be deposited.
