Abstract
The coin receiving assembly provides a mechanism for defining a coin race through which a coin may pass, but from which fluid will be caused to exit. The coin is caused to negotiate a generally curvilinear path, while surfaces defining the coin race are configured to conduct water to locations away from the coin race. Additionally, apertures are provided toward a latter portion of the arcuate coin path to facilitate drainage of fluids otherwise adhering to surfaces defining the coin path.
