if coin == 25 | 10 | 5:

If I replace the '|' with 'or' the code runs just fine. I'm not sure why I can't use '|' in the same statement.

Doing the following doesn't work either:

if coin == 25 | coin == 10 | coin == 5:

I know bitwise operators can only be used with integers, but other then that is there another difference from logical operators?

if coin in (25, 10, 5):

If the list is long and used frequently, I'd go with the set.
