Note

5 coin (penny thru quarter) dispenser, belt. The Universal Change Maker was patented by the Johnson Fare Box Company in 1919. This belt-mounted five-barrel, unit dispensed pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and likely fare tokens. Each barrel has its own lever. Pushing the lever down dispenses the coin from the bottom of the barrel and into the hand of the operator.
