<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panda, post: 887067, member: 24443&quot;]on who&#039;s dime though? it would have to be the government, and i have a hard time thinking they would take the tab. even if they did, all that money they would have to spend to buy the new coin material and designs plus many other things, not to mention fixing millions of machines. it would hurt them saving any money in the short term. and what if it fails miserably, it could wipe out the whole vending machine industry. i was watching a special on the history channel about that industry and its bigger then most think. of course that is worst case, but either way a failure would be bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>it is worth it in the long run, but short term in the state we are in now with money, its a big move..</p><p><br /></p><p>i guess i am over reacting a little. the changes are supposed to be with 1 cents and nickels, so you really don&#039;t use them in machines or anywhere at all. and its not like that would be all that is out there, there will be the original ones in circulation for years.</p><p><br /></p><p>i do like the idea of bringing the half dime back and dropping the nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
