<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1313898, member: 34005&quot;]I see one that appears to be from the 80&#039;s at my current employer, doesn&#039;t accept dollar coins. My last employer, I swear the coke machine they had in the vending area had to be 30+ years or older. You can tell they added the paper dollar currency to it but it still didn&#039;t accept dollar coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>From my interaction with them before, most of these guys know how to fix the existing coin mechanisms or replace with parts from their other machines not in use, most don&#039;t want to replace the whole coin mechanism thing outright to accept dollar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not from my experience though. Most candy and soft drinks didn&#039;t start reaching the dollar until the past 10 or so years. Most add the paper coin mechanism, leaving the older one intact that accepts just quarters or lower. Makes sense most machines now should accept dollar coins, since the prices of goods in such machines are a dollar or more nowadays.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True I didn&#039;t account for taxes but they&#039;re still making you pay a premium nonetheless. Not all are self employed independent vendors, that would be an assumption. The ones that take care of the machines at my current employer are handled by Accent, which to my knowledge a huge vending company. Also, my example of Costco/Sams Club costs is a poor comparison, I&#039;m sure vendors that stock vending machines actually pay less from the amount of bulk products they buy compared to such member only retail outlets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
