Claud Trieman was the Founder of Coin Accepters, Inc. (Coinco), based in St. Louis, Missouri.
Trieman served in the US Navy during World War II. After the war he worked for National Rejectors, Inc., a manufacturer of coin accepting and changing systems.
In 1954 Treiman was driving his then pregnant wife, Corine, to the hospital delivery room. On an icy bridge on Gravois road near Fenton, Missouri, he lost control of his car and crashed.
His wife died after giving birth to a daughter who was born dead.
Claud married again and had three children.
Trieman left National Rejectors and founded Coin Acceptors in 1958.
Coin Acceptors manufactured coin changers and coin receiving devices used in vending machines and video games.
The first Coin Acceptors headquarters was located at 4946 Daggett Avenue, near the Italian neighborhood called "The Hill" in South St. Louis, Missouri.
In the early 1980's, the Daggett facility was too small for operations so Trieman moved manufacturing operations to Mountain View and High Ridge, Missouri. At the time of his death, all research and development was moved to a newly built three story office building in Clayton, MO.
Claud was killed when a private jet Cessna Citation, he was piloting, crashed into a hillside in southern Missouri near his factory outside the town of Mountain View. Also killed in the crash were Trieman's sister, Edith V. Harnisch, 67, and her husband Nic E. Harnisch, 51, both of Clearwater, Florida.
The National Transportation Safety Board Published its conclusions in an Aircraft Accident Report dated July 19, 1983. The report states pilot error as the cause of the crash.
Claud was buried in a single plot cemetery within two miles of his factory and the crash site.
Coin Acceptors no longer manufactures products in the United States. All manufacturing has been relocated to China and India.
