Abstract
A gaming machine and method including a housing having a door which exposes a currency mechanism along a medial portion thereof and located between a side wall and a monitor. This strategic location of the currency mechanism allows clearance for an underlying coin hopper so as to minimize the need for an external currency mechanism and to provide access to the coin hopper in a much more maintenance friendly manner for tending to the coin hopper and currency mechanisms, e.g. for filling, etc.
