[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1318294, member: 23626"]It might be safer and easier to ecome a follower rather than an innovater here. I mean, I have seen a LOT of money invested in different coin operated machines here in Vegas that have for one reason or another failed. Of course the people who lost lot of money on those machines could afford to take the hit. Coin machines that were not popular were the dime slots. Don't as me why. Half dollar slots. People didn't want to carry around heavy amounts of coins. $25 tokens. People mixed them up with dollars and wanted chips instead. Next look at what was successful for the Post Office. The dollars dispensed as change (SBAs) was a series that fell on it's face. You have to do your own cost analysis of course, but please consider your demographics. Take a look at which vending machines are being used. What coins those machines accept. Go to local banks and aski about the coins they order. If the banks aren't ordering halves, how many of your customers carry them ? I am not saying your idea is not well thought out. But I am wondering if it is worth the expense > Just sayin' gary[/QUOTE]
