Coin Switch?

I've seen pictures of them, but I can only find them in AC. I need them to detect a coin in a vending machine, but I don't get how they work... it's like a wire boom goes out and can be bent anyway you want, and when it is hit it lets electricity through... Am I correct?

hi,
A micro switch with a wire operating lever is sometimes used for coin detection.
