The magnetic field passes through the coin,is attenuated bythe coin's material properties and geometry before be in greceived by the solenoid at the opposite end. The field passing along the axis of the second coil generates a specific pattern of electric current, which can be matched with the correct coin.

3. a) Coin also activates switch that b} pullsslide member to ward wall of Coin Vending Machine by means of electromagnet, thereby prevent in gan other coin from entering.
