So long as the local perishers hadn't placed a piece of folded cardboard in the money return slot to give the impression of a faulty machine so they could come back later to retrieve their ill gotten gains.

A variation on this was to bend the earpiece diaphram in half which would give the impression of a badly distorted connection encouraging the user not to press button A but to press button B. Of course the cardboard would hold the money back in the return tray for the little monsters to collect later.

(Sorry Bob. Saw your comments after I posted)
