St. Louis, MO - September 19, 2008 – Coin Acceptors, Inc. (Coinco), celebrating its 50th anniversary in business this year, will introduce the Vantage Series of bill acceptors at the 2008 National Automatic Merchandising Association in Booth #1472.

Vantage technology is the industry’s first bill acceptor to place emphasis on increasing revenue while reducing service and operating costs. Aside from industry-leading bill acceptance and bill transport reliability, new features are now available to increase profitability in today’s vending environment.

Higher price points and the need for increased operational efficiencies were driving factors when defining the Vantage feature set. The new Smart Bezel™ increases sales and reduces service calls by actively communicating $1 and $5 bill acceptance in real time. Enhanced bezel geometry eases bill insertion and 360 degree inlet lighting highlights the point of consumer transaction. Vantage also features a quick-release bezel which speeds installation and removal, improving access while reducing service costs.

Centric Drive Technology, anti-bill jam software and automated self-diagnostics benefit operators by increasing first insertion bill acceptance rates and minimizing service calls related to inferior bill quality. An unprecedented three level anti-theft system makes Vantage the most secure bill acceptor on the market today by physically blocking the bill path to eliminate stringing and fishing. Vantage’s “wet deck” design with co-molded sealing provides superior water protection proven to the most adverse test conditions, giving Vantage the ability to perform reliably day-after-day in the most adverse environments.

“When designing the Vantage bill acceptor, Coinco set a goal to develop the most dependable and most secure bill acceptor on the market today,” said Tom Paczkowski, Vice President of Marketing. “We turned our attention to features that would offer industry-leading acceptance and reliability, as well as technology that will address the challenges faced in today’s vending environment. The Vantage® bill acceptor surpassed our goals and has raised the bar in vending industry bill acceptance.”

“The Vantage bill acceptor marks another innovation milestone for Coinco as part of an ongoing commitment to providing quality currency systems with cutting edge technology,” stated Parker Condie Jr., President of Coin Acceptors, Inc.
