<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 203692, member: 6032"]oh well, the machines i do these on are soda machines and the prices are generraly $1 to $1.25. i search the nickles because i don't think anyone is going to get a nickel back in change when buying a soda, just quarters. anyway, the machine people get paid to do that, so why not? all they have to do is just put the nickels back in the tubes. i bet the machine people wonder how all the nickels got in the coin box! in a vending machine, there are 2 coin slots. there is a box that holds coins customers put in and a tube that the vender fills with coins to give back as change. when the machine maintainer fills the machine, he or she will put the coins in the coin box in the tubes, so they will probaly be full again in no time. i heard somewhere that those machines hold $20 in nickels, so its not like a few nickels are going to make a difference. i don't do it with quarters because those are given out as change and if they run out, someone will get ripped off. i just think it is a good way to get old coins. you never know what your going to find! even THAT gives me a thrill!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
