The coin return button in the hope of getting some small change
returned? (No chance!)


A friend's kid used to do this at every machine he saw.
He apparently amassed a quite substantial increase in his
pocket money this way.


Wasn't the idea to stick some paper or a rag up the coin exit so it
stopped refunds being returned, then come back to the machine later,
remove the 'plug' and gather one's booty.

Not that i would ever condone such irresponsible behaviour.

Someone told me. Honest.
