Assigning credits is something the game board does. All the mechs do is allow or disallow a coin, which then triggers a switch.
NO MORE!!

I have a similar question... I have a couple of mech's that take (well actually, they don't , but thats another problem) Deutsch Marks - whereas I'm in the UK, is there anyway to change them to accept different coins? (Once they are working that is :D) (I dont know if they would accept it anyway - all coins that go through the mech get stuck inside on what looks like an accept chute, the metal is moveable.. i would assume some sort of current flow would move this to allow the currency through, though that isnt happening)

if your coin mechs are mechanical like the one I modded, check my site for the link in here, then you can use it for reference. My mod will accept ANY thing that goes thru the Coin Entrance....
