Section 302 Certification (Chief Executive Officer               Exhibit 31.1
   --------------------------------------------------



   I, William L. McMahon, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Global Payment
      Technologies, Inc. ("GPT");

2.    Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
      make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
      statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
      this annual report;

3.    Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
      information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material
      respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
      the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual
      report;

4.    I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for GPT
      and have:

      a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
         material information relating to GPT, including its consolidated
         subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
         particularly during the period in which this annual report is being
         prepared;

      b) evaluated the effectiveness of GPT's disclosure controls and procedures
         and presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
         effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
         of the period covered by this annual report based upon such evaluation;
         and

      c) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
         the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting;

5.     I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
       over financial reporting, to GPT's auditors and the audit committee of
       GPT's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
       functions):

      a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
         operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect GPT's ability to record, process,
         summarize and report financial information; and

      b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant role in GPT's internal controls over
         financial reporting; and
