<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LFCfan, post: 1206585, member: 26701&quot;]My experience with vending machines is, that here in the States, machines are geared to taking US coins. Generally speaking vending machine operators like getting paid in their own currency. </p><p><br /></p><p>So one day at my wife&#039;s work, she got a Canadian Quarter in her change after getting a soda. Feeling slighted by the world she put it back in and hit change and got a US Quarter back. We tried an experiment, I gave her two dollars in&nbsp; Canadian Quarters and when she got home, she gave me two dollars in US Quarters. We have yet to try this with Canadian dimes and nickels, but I didn&#039;t want the vender to wonder why he was getting all this Canadian coinage and rewire the machine. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking back most machines I have used, most or all have returned Canadian coins I have tried to use. I guess I want to know are machines country specific? How do you program a vending machine to take one currency and reject others? Why might this machine take both? Is this odd or more normal than I think, because I never have Canadian coins in my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny part to this story is that my wife works in a city in the Twin Cities area called....Little Canada[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
