Abstract
A coin concealment and back screen are disposed upright on a coin-receiving case. Two mirrors are provided on the coin concealment, and camouflaging members and an oscillating coin chute are provided on the coin concealment. Since the mirrors reflect the surface of the back screen, so an illusion that the coin concealment done exist and only the camouflaging members and the back screen stand there. As a result, when a coin is put in to the coin concealment via the coin chute, the coin is hidden behind the coin concealment, so an illusion that the coin is missing will be given. Also, as the coin moves, the coin chute oscillates reciprocally. Namely, the motion of the coin chute adds to the illusion of coin missing to enhance the fun to see.
