[QUOTE="odhinn, post: 1419571, member: 21571"][b]vending machines[/b] I was thinking about vending machines the other day and wondering how productive it might be to get the coins straight from the public rather than through the bank. Right now I use a lot of cash, and search my own change, but don't search from the bank. Doesn't seem worth the hassle, even though my credit union does let me use their coinstar for free. Personally, I use an old consumer-grade coin sorter I got a while back from Sharper Image. Cheap plastic but does the job for my low volume. It sounds like you run someone else's vending machine route for them. Have you considered setting up your own and specifically finding machines that don't reject silver? Any tips on where I can learn more about vending machines and their coin rejection techniques? I knew a girl who worked the professional coin sorter at an arcade. She could always tell the silver quarters from their ping when they went through the machine. Had tons of them. Makes me want to start a laundromat or arcade... :-)[/QUOTE]
