If you do a google search there are quite a few solutions available assuming touchjams accepts key inputs for the coin values. Here is one I found,

Personally I have used Ipacs in the past.

TouchJams DOES accept key inputs for the coin values.

A USB microcontroller such as the minimus (or the like) could be easily programmed as a keyboard and provide keypresses on input. that's another option as well.

Hi all, does anyone know where to get a compatible coin acceptor for touchjams? I would prefer USB, however have only been able to find USB timers. Would love one that can do USB with keyboard stroke. Thanks in advance.
