How it's made

Source
a metal coin dropped into an arcade coin slot. The first contact is a 1–2 ms impact that excites the coin and the slot's steel lip; the coin then bounces and rattles down the chute in a few quickly shrinking, quickening hits, and the cabinet answers with an electronic credit blip.
Body
the coin is a small metal disc, modelled with metal-bar modes (bright, inharmonic, 60–150 ms ring); the chute adds a short hollow resonance around 1.2–2 kHz on every hit.
Rattle
three to five bounces with geometrically shrinking gaps and levels, each with its own tuning offset.
Blip
a two-note rising confirm (a fifth apart) from a soft square plus a sine an octave up, with a short attack, a fast decay and a faint vibrato-free sheen; it starts as the rattle settles.
Variation
`rng` varies bounce times, levels and mode tuning by a few percent.
