In addition to counting the coins, old-school hard count rooms also cleaned the coins to keep ladies' white gloves from getting too dirty. Other casino workers regularly empty coin-operated games into large containers, which are whisked away to the hard count room on a rolling cart as quickly as possible to minimize the risk of heists. Just like the soft count room where paper currency is processed, hard count rooms feature a riduculous number of security cameras and mirrors focused directly on the workers. In a casino, a hard count room is an extremely secure area, accessible only to designated employees, where coins from all over the casino are delivered for official counting.
