Cycling threw vending machines?

I'm going to a place tomorrow that has a vending machine that accepts dollar coins. If I bring for example a John Tyler presidential dollar coin, could I cycle threw and get another dollar coin like a Abraham Lincoln presidential dollar coin or Susan B. Anthony dollar coin? Thanks.

I was stuck in a waiting room with a Coke machine that accepted dollar coins a few months back and I was able to cycle through dollar coins by dropping in one and hitting the coin return. It depends on the machine though. Start with a single dollar coin, that way if it doesn't work you don't waste too much money. I'm not sure if your location is close by to a subway, but Susan B. Anthony dollars are very common in subway change machines. I put a $20 in the change machine every time I ride the subway and I usually get at least one or two S.B.A. dollars, mostly 1979P.

 

When the mule SBA's started to show up years ago, I went to the post office every few days and stuck in a twenty dollar bill to buy a stamp or two. It was fun.

 

Should I put 2 bucks in and see what comes out or will it be my same 2 bills?

 

It has been my experience that every machine is different. You just have to put your money in and see what happens. I stopped doing this after I lost a couple of half dollars in machines that did not recognize them.

 

Threw is the past tense of throw

The words threw and through can sound the same when spoken. However, the words have two completely different meanings.

BTW, I agree with Gipper1985.

 

"Thru" is informal use of through I think.

 

I read the title and thought, "Oh wow - how did riding your bicycle cause you to throw vending machines? Is this a new workout program?"

 

Exactly what I though! I was thinking- I gotta see this!

 

I decided not to put money in. I found 10 bucks in the pool where I went.

 

Most of the vending machines I've encountered will only hold one bill in the validator. So if you put one in and hit the return button the same bill will come back out. But if you put two in you get the second one back and coins for the first. If no available items are priced over $1 then many machines won't take more than one bill.

 

I used to always play the "quarters" Game. Sometimes do it when I am bored somewhere.

 

I've never done this but I'm wondering what kind of looks you get from the other people in the waiting room or where ever you are just standing at the vending machine for 5 minutes putting coins in and hitting the coin return button over and over lol

 

I'm just curious, why go to all that trouble? I just get rolls at the bank. Around here they are all too delighted to get rid of them. Even if I request circulated rather than new they are glad to help me.
