Poll - How Many People Got Their Coin Rejected At A Vending Machine?
another waste of a bandwith poll.
At work today, I was trying to get myself a coke and put in a R2 coin. For some reason it would not accept the coin. So I put in 50c, and it got accepted. Pissed me off, but not as bad as those machine that only accept a brand new crispy bills.

I've had coins rejected; usually dimes. I've had many, many dollar bills rejected.

It is not soda, it is coke, pure and simple.

I hate when that happens. For me it tends to be dimes. If I happen to have a proble with a dollar bill I will stand there all day trying to unwrinkle it. LOL

Heeeere we go again.
I call it soda. However, I understand it when people call it pop. Anyone who calls it Coke regardless of Sprite/7UP, Pepsi, the Diets/RC Cola whatever is way off.

South African money. Rand is a banknote, like a dollar. And the coins are Cents. Is that correct Moe.ron?

Just a tip.. if a machine rejects your coin (and it's a valid US coin!), try rubbing the edge of the coin on the little rough metal part right under where the coins go in and try again. 95% of the time, it works.. I have no clue why.
