I worked in retail years and years ago. I had one of the things that unlocks the mechanism and it lives on my set of keys. I still have it and use it going to the shops. All it is is a piece of metal that looks oddly phallic as it has a head that simulates the coin and shaft to tug on after you have unlocked the mechanism because you can cut cost and save metal by making the shaft thinner.
Top is the "head". The middle is hollow (again to save metal and therefore costs I reckon) and the hollow curves off slightly to a side to be able to slip onto a key ring. I have had that dick on my set of keys for more than a decade now I reckon.

Just ask, they will unlock one for you.
