It seems another link to the same page has automatically popped up. Well, i guess I will leave it there in case my copy-and-paste version of the link does not work.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this article is true, could I still get vending machines that will accept and dispense halves if I open my business? I know some people were advising to hold off on vending machines for a while, when starting my business, but if I have the money, I am going to buy a couple at least. I only expect to have about three of them or maybe a few gum ball machines as well, but those may have to accept quarters, unless I could get machines that will accept halves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
