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. :mad:

Coin rejects
 

All the time...I am especially unthankful for the dollar-bill only machines...
What is an R2?

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. :rolleyes:

i'm going to have to disagree with you there... :D in boston, it's soda!

Never happened to me, but I've had plenty of dollar bills rejected and it really pi--es me off

Re: Coin rejects
 

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

*edited for spelling*

thank god! a woman with common sense!!! everything is not a coke!

A few times, mostly from Dollar Bills.

when I lived in university housing and I got food out of the vending machines every day, this happened ALL THE TIME!!!! It was sooo annoying. But I havent bought anything out of a vending machine since early this semester when I bought a pack of starburst... YES I AM RANDOM!!

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.

Yeah one time the maching wouldn't kept my dollar in a hotel...so i walked downstairs to the front desk & they gave me another dollar & I got my coke from the machine in the lobby...I got back on the elevator & in walks Jason Mraz...he was alone & walking toward the elevator...I didn't know what to so...I let the elevator door close in his face...I'm a dumbass, I know--I didn't even try to catch the door.
