New coins

Post by chris gibbs »

Hello to all I have a big of a odd question for you today,the royal mint recently released 2011 and 2012 5ps and 10ps now they are very shiny and if had been brought to my attention they have slightly different content in them.now here's the question has any one experienced problems with jamming or excepting these coins in there change givers? The reason I ask is that I have a stenterfield Ventura which hasn't given me any trouble for a couple of years yet in the last two weeks has janmmed several times always with theses coins in them,after unjamming the mec I've tried to put the coins in but they just get rejected any ideas chaps?
Any imput Always welcome regards Chris .

I have a couple of 10p pushers on site and they have been jamming and had to have a coin mech re programmed to take the new 10p,they also have a thick ridge on them and are causing jam ups
