I'd have put the 10p to £1 coin values as 1,2,5 & 10 respectively, with Units/Credit (i.e required) as 10. My colleague told me once about a test for Associated Leisure 'engineers'. It involved re-installing lost adjustments on a Data East game. He said he'd been marked down for not looking at the manual, and setting the required pricing from memory.

I put them as 1, 2, 5 and 10. The £1 was fine and gave you one credit. 50ps rolled straight out (probably down to being old coin mech and taking the bigger 50p). The 20p gave you something like 7 credits and then 10p gave you 10 credits. Was pretty annoying so i just said the values off the other shoots to zero and left the £1 shoot
Assuming this isn't one of 'my' old Twilight Zones, the £1 coin input is D1 (left), then 50 pence D2 (centre), 20 pence D3 (right) and 10 pence D4 (4th), so the values for 'flat' £1/play would be in decreasing order, 10, 5, 2, 1, with 'units/credit' at 10, 'units/bonus' and 'bonus credits' at 0. You could use these last two for an incentive to insert £2 for 3 credits by setting them as 20 and 1 respectively.
Re. the 50 pence; I can't think of any reason why, but it may be locked out or 'inhibited' by the coin interface board in the cabinet. AIR, the lowest 4 of the 8 DIP switches on the interface board are used to enable/inhibit the first four 'channels' of the coin acceptor. So they should all be set the same.

Okay, i put these in like you said and it all works fine now. Thanks.
However the 50ps still don't register.
In 1997 the 50p coin was reduced in size and the older coins were removed from circulation, so if the coin mech is older than 1997 it wouldn't register the coin would it?

That is correct. I keep some old coins to check coin mechs.
