Man, I'd have trained them to put coins in a little hopper for the food. Start by leaving the coins on a string similar to how you did it. Then set it up so pulling on the string drops the string+coin into the hopper, triggering the food. Then leave coins on the ground near the hopper. Then... start leaving fewer coins around. Soon, an army of racoons will be bringing you street coins in exchange for peanuts.
