<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drago the Wolf, post: 1246279, member: 22476&quot;]Okay, I hope no one minds that I make another topic somewhat related to my possible business proposal, but I just thought of an idea that hit me like a ton of bricks (and they were 24 karat gold bricks at that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>To get my vending machines to take halves, couldn&#039;t I just talk to the people, whoever modified all of the CoinStar change counting machines to take halves and small dollar coins? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I was pondering putting in a penny tube as well, but I am thinking that it might either cost too much, and/or fill up too fast? (This is another issue that the CoinStar people don&#039;t seem to have a problem with, penny acception. So is it worth having my machines modified to take them, as long as it does not cost much more than adding a half dollar tube? I know that most vending machines already take the small dollars as well as nickels, dimes and quarters, so with penny and half dollar acception, I would be all set.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if I make my vending machines take pennies, if I could make them reject copper cents (and if ever tried by someone, a steel cent) just like most vending machines reject silver pre-1965 quarters and dimes (and presumibly, silver war nickels?), and would be made to reject pre-1971 sliver halves, and I could exchange them from the customer with a zinc cent and hoard the coppers that way, making a two cent profit, :devil: seeing as I have heard that copper cents are worth 3 cents or so, right now, or I could simply hoard them from the cash drawer as well and keep a stock of brand new pennies available. </p><p><br /></p><p>So are these good ideas to get my own personal vending machines to take halves (and perhaps, pennies)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but I forgot to mention that the machines would also &quot;dispense&quot; pennies as needed, as with all five other other denominations of U.S. coins currently in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
