Are the vending machines so good that foreign coins can no longer be used to trick the machines?
If not, what do operators do with the Canadian coins whichh cross their path? Throw it away, or toss it in a jar and keep it untill their next vacation?
Do vending machine operators end up with a lot of foreign coins?

Over the years I've found coinage from all over the world in my machines. I've also managed to save several hundred dollars worth of silver quarters and dimes (1964 and earlier minting). I've saved them and if I ever manage to retire before I drop dead, I'd like to visit those countries and put some american coins in their machines as payback.Are the vending machines so good that foreign coins can no longer be used to trick the machines?

Send Canadian coins to me for environmentally safe secure disposal. No charge for disposal service!Are the vending machines so good that foreign coins can no longer be used to trick the machines?

I get tons of foreign coins in my bulk machines that have drop through coin mechs..
There is a guy that places these single model 83 norhwesterns in my accounts all the time, he actually sells wheat pennys and old coins for 75 cents a pop!!!
when the kid gets the old wheat penny he normally just puts it in my machine hoping to get a gum ball. Funny thing is when the penny falls through the fall through mech and the kid gets nothing they actually think I'm the one who ripped them off!!!!!!!!!
also a lot of the soldiers coming home from HELL came back with alot of fake silver dollars etc from afghanistan ....I went to meet a young soldier who had bunch of them for sale on craigslist... He was puzzled when i got a magnet out and picked them up!! He thought they where real but then i explained to him that the US mint has never produced a coin that could be picked up with a magnet,if it can then its fake!!
They looked really old too,,I read that they where minting them in China and flooding the markets over there with them..
This its also reason why the good coin sorters (cummins allison etc.) have a magnet on them to pick up the canadian quarters mixed in a lot of change you probably deposit in bank, I always get a envelope back from my bank when i make deposit with about 3-5 canadian quarters in it..I keep them as when oil prices go up normally the canadian quarter is actually worth more than us quarter......
and I also have 4 sons so if these idiots in washington ever want to go fight with a real enemy like China and want to draft my boys i might need them to buy bread when I'm living in the canadian wilderness!!! lol
oh yeah...I use a lot of silver dollars in my coin pushers for prizes so that is why i was searching craigslist for them..
