For a Quater there are 5 beeps that are outpulsed at 12-17 pulses , for the dime there are 2 beeps that are outpulsed at 5-8.5 PPS and for a nickle one beep outpulsed the smae as a dime.Now each beep consists of 2 tones which are 2200 and 1700hz. Below is a way to get these tones without having to build one. Heres what you do: ------------------ Materils needed: - A trusted friend (HA HA...AH) - A micro Cassette Recoder (preferably) - A telephone pickup from your local Radio shack Now go down to the fortress phones(Do not do this in the day time where people cannot see you).look for two fortress phone booths connected together.This will make the job lot easier if you are alone.Now connect the telephone pickup to the receiver of the handset.(and dont forget to connect it to your cassette recorder)of one of the telefones.(you might have to tape the telephone pick-up to the receiver).Now put the fone on hook and go to the neighbouring fone booth .From here make a telefone call to the first booth. NOW FROM HERE ON IS THE HARD PART THAT Now leave your handset hanging and quickly go to the other phone booth where the telephone pickup is hooked up.First press the recording button.Then pick up the handset and LEAVE IT OFF HOOK (remeber the recording is still going on).Now go to the second telephone booth where you made the call,drop a couple of Quaters, dimes and nickles. You are done!!!!!!!.When you play back the cassette you will hear the tones of the coins you put in. This procedures may also work from home,where by you'll have the telephone pick-up connected at home,and someone calls you and he drops the coins.
