Elevator Pay Hack

My British friend Sam and I are hanging out at the airport. I'm not sure if it's LAX or not, and I think he either just arrived or is leaving. Anyway, we get into an elevator and it starts to drop. The drop is not as long as usual in my dreams, it's only around 4 or 5 floors. As the elevator gets to the bottom of the shaft it actually slows down completely but is still moving. Then I notice that the doors are shut together but peeled down towards outside the elevator. I don't remember seeing what it looked like outside, but on top of the peeled down doors is Sam's luggage - two suit-cases, one smaller one on top of another.

Somehow this "glitch" of his luggage being on top of the peeled down doors causes this small metal box that sticks out about an inch underneath the elevator keys to start dispensing quarters, or maybe quarters and higher denominations of change. It stops dispensing them after about a half-minute. Me and Sam want to recreate the scenario a bunch of times to get more money out of it.
