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

I, Stephen Nevitt, 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.   GPT's other certifying officer and I are 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.   GPT's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our 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
