Abstract
A coin slide with attracting magnets is disclosed which incorporates a coin slide body with integral mounting flange, a keeper secured rearwardly of the mounting flange to position a plurality of magnets in vertical, side-by-side relationship, the magnets defining coin checking paths therebetween, a bridge secured to the body rearwardly of the mounting flange whereby the forward edge of the bridge and the rearward surface of the mounting flange define a clearance space therebetween, the magnets being positioned in the clearance space to detect any ferrous slugs as they pass through the magnet defined coin checking paths, the magnets lifting the slug sufficiently to cause the slug to jam against the forward edge of the bridge and not to pass through the bridge.
