Guys can anyone help me. I have a site that persistently wraps a 20p coin with the foil from a fag box which then vends through a pringles machine, I have swapped the machine but they still do it. Cost me £48 in sales month, I have removed the machine for now until I can fix the coin mech.
Not sure what make the pringles machine is but know it's not clenport. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers guys.

I believe you sharpen the tip on the point that sticks in the side of the coin on the mech, it then pulls off the paper.

Re: Paper wrapped 20p's
Hi,
Inside the mech there are two fingers that are spring loaded and stop the mech when a small coin, or no coin is in the slot. Take these out and sharpen the tips. There is a downside as this paper and coin will clog up the mech and result in you having to go out more times to free it off. Personally and from experience, I would find another site for it.
Thanks,
Paul

Once you fix the machine they will only try it a couple more times before they realise it's not going to work any more.
