élément de blocage pour le transport + pièce de monnaie

I think that the shipping attachment is some sort of blocking device that stops the internal moving parts of the machine from getting damaged during transport.
By some design, that attachment needs to be secured by turning a round lid with a groove on it, using a coin, which means you're not going to break your fingernails.

that's the way I see it anyway.

I don\'t think that the shipping attachment serves any purpose other than during shipping, but it\'s probably kept, or affixed for storage purpose, somewhere inside the machine, since you need it again when you need to change locations, send it for repair, etc.

See explanation

The shipping attachement is a part of machine that serves for transportation securing purposes. After unpacking machine this part becomes a regular machine part.
The coin is metal made money.
