Bill Murphy Retires From Coin Acceptors Inc. After 40 Years

Coin Acceptors, Inc. (Coinco) has announced the retirement of industry veteran William (Bill) Murphy after 40 years of dedicated service with the company.

Murphy began his career as a salesman in January 1965 and held positions of increasing responsibility, most recently serving as director of distributor sales. He has been a prominent speaker at numerous national, regional, and distributor events. He is widely recognized for promoting MDB as a communication standard for the vending industry, and later, for introducing and promoting Coinco's industry-first coupon program.

"Bill dedicated his professional life to Coinco and was a driving force within our sales organization," said Bill Johnson, vice president of sales, in a prepared statement. "Bill's charismatic personality and passion for his work will be missed by his many friends and colleagues within the Amusement and Vending Industries."

Murphy has three children and is proud to note that his sons, Rick and Scott, are following in his footsteps in the industry.
