Heck yeah, bro.  That's how all the cool kids do it.   The coin mech is just a switch like any other one of your buttons.  You wire that switch up to the "5" (or whatever) on your encoder anf voila! You've got a working coin door.

Do a search and I'm sure you'll find hundreds of posts.

SithMaster:

try retrocade.com thats the guide im using to wire my door up.

PhoneLine:

Thanks guys.

Sith, that web site actually just brings me to a search, do you have a direct link to the guide your talking about?



SirPoonga:

You don;t need a guide.  At the coin exit of the coin door is a switch.  In fact it will probably be the same switch your pushbuttons use except it will have a wire actuator to trip the switch when the quarter goes by.  Wire it up just like a pushbutton.
