Oxfordshire-based AstroSystems, manufacturer and supplier of the Microcoin brand of coin acceptors to the EMEA region, is preparing for the forthcoming release of the new UK £1 coin.
With the coin expected to enter circulation in 2017, AstroSystems is currently formulating factory configuration files that will be provided to customers at the earliest opportunity. Both Microcoin models supplied will be fully supported with updates: the fast-feed, gaming orientated QL and the “ultra-reliable” SP.
Leo Bateman, sales executive at AstroSystems, explained: “We fully understand the importance of the arrival of the new £1 to the coin-op sector. With this in mind, we will endeavour to provide secure, reliable configuration solutions in a timely manner, while maintaining the high levels of coin security that the Microcoin brand has become synonymous with.”
