Interesting, too, the way the Wheats are broken up. One listing for 1909 through 1955-S, then it skips 1956 and 1956-D, and then a separate listing for 1957-D, and no 1958's.
That is a first for me.... I would likely take a chance... and probably get a wheatie... I imagine that is the bulk of the lot.... Being a coin collector, would be hard to pass up...Cheers, RickO
Yes, I have seen these in a restaurant in Carthage NC. Bought three as a gag a couple of years ago with the intention of starting a thread. I recall they cost me 50 cents a pop.
The cent with the spot is a 1919 - not quite as nice as Stewart's but what the heck, it is still 98 years old.
The other cent is hard to read the date, I'll call it a 1918.
The last coin is a 2006 5 centavos from Argentina.

They had one of those at a truck stop in Chesterton, Indiana a few years ago. I used to stop there when I was in the area to get gas. I gave it a whirl 2 or 3 times (Curiosity).
Whatever came out was not worth anywhere near what I put in. I can say that all the coins were U.S.

Yeah it's still pretty neat! I have it a try bc what the hell 75 cents right? Haha tried it with $5 and got 3 s wheat back a common dates 2 steeelies and sadly got away with a buff/nickel but no date sadly but I would say it's still pretty cool!
I have seen many of these types of vending machines that dispensed a large plastic capsule with a prize, but never seen one that had old money as a prize. Very neat and I would probably give it a go if I saw one in person.
Haha puppy machine lol well you are welcome if it's worth it to anyone I'm gonna go back there this weekend. Going to spend $50 in there and will post the results!

I remember seeing one many years ago

Why would you want a crumpled up Silver Dollar Certificate?
I have a feeling there are a LOT of Wheat Cents.
What's the cost of a chance ??
Chris
75 cents!
Either way pretty neat lmfao would be nice to get a old barber that possibly isn't completely rubbed lol
If you're lucky enough to get the 1858 Indian Head penny or the 1908 Wheatback penny, you're sitting pretty.

Fun way of getting folks to notice old coins.
Kind of neat. Would help if the put the right years for the span of the coins though
HAPPY COLLECTING
I would not mind getting ahold of one those early Roosevelt Dimes from 1916 but only up to 1945.
I have not heard of a Silver (or any other metal) Washington Nickle.
The price has gone up since I seen one last at a quarter.
Could see anything other than Wheaties in the window?
Did you give it a whirl?

We have one of those machines around here.
I tried it and I got a new puppy !

They were everywhere in the 1960's and 1970's.
On our family trips from Toronto to Florida each year, I remember one particular spot when we stopped in Harrisburg PA.
One large strip mall there, had a machine where my brother and I spent a small fortune on those coin capsules.
They cost either 10c or 25c, I can't remember.
My best coin was a high grade 1928-S Lincoln.

"I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)
Never seen one either. Cool.
I would love to have one of machines, fill it up with good stuff and only let grandchildren play.
Looks like we won't see the results.
Never saw one. Pretty cool!
I forgot that I posted to this thread. I wonder if the machine is still in place - I'll have to check.

There's nothing like a bubble gum machine in house, grandkids love it although I have to supply the coins.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

The typos on that machine are pretty funny!
