Abstract
A change return protection device is diclosed which prevents thieves from stuffing flexible material into coin-operated machines' coin return chutes. The device seals off the change return's change return chute when the change return door is opened, and it prevents stuffing of the change return chute by also incorporating a blocking flap around which the flexible material cannot be inserted. The device is suitable for use in existing change return mechanisms.
