Abstract
The present embodiments provide a coin receiving mechanism for a vending machine. In one embodiment, the coin receiving mechanism comprises a faceplate having at least one coin slot formed therein, a coin wheel, and a backplate dimensioned to cover at least a portion of the coin wheel and the faceplate. At least one attachment zone for coupling the backplate to the faceplate is positioned at least partially laterally outside of said opening formed in the vending machine. A method is also provided for retrofitting a vending machine by removing a first coin receiving mechanism having one coin slot from engagement with an opening formed in the vending machine, and installing a second coin receiving mechanism having two coin slots disposed in a side-by-side manner into engagement with the opening of the vending machine.
