coinslot

Quarter entry point

A coinslot is the narrow opening in a vending machine, parking meter, or arcade game where coins are inserted.

The term also refers, often humorously, to the visible top of someone's buttock cleavage when their pants ride low: He bent over and showed the whole room his coinslot.

Also spelled coin slot.
