coin return
Vending machine slot
A coin return is the slot or tray on a vending machine, payphone, or arcade game where rejected or refunded coins are dispensed.
The term also refers to the mechanism itself or the button that triggers a refund: I checked the coin return but it was empty.
The feature has become less common as cash-operated machines give way to digital payment.
