Ever put a $5 bill in the vending machine....

Just to get the change so you can go through it?
And do it again an hour later?

First and only Laundromat I have ever been banned from..........
There are ways to make change without buying something, and I'm not a soda drinker, so I rarely use vending machines. But good luck! Hope you find an awesome piece. You never know what's inside those things. Especially the machines at those interstate hwy gas stations an hour away from civilization.
I had a $5 Lincoln in my pocket today, burning a hole. Stuck it inside my son's piggy bank soon as I got home.

<< <i>I put a $10 in the change machine at the Laundromat a couple years ago and got two silver quarters in the pile. I was hoping for more and after another $150 or so got just one more. I also got the attention of the attendant who wasn't pleased that I was draining the machine of more than I needed to do my laundry.

As the owner of a vending company I hate when people do that.

Yeah I wasn't pleased.

I'm just having a hard time caring about clad and the ugly new cents. I know there is some modern worth looking for, and I could be missing an opportunity to sell a find and buy something I do care about, but..
Forty years ago or more I had one of these thingies:
I found one on Ebay or Etsy or somewhere and ordered it last week. I hope the darn thing still works (if not, there seem to be plenty more out there). I bought it to look through a pile of wheat ears I saved over the years, but maybe it will convince me to start looking at change again.

It was pretty cool. You put coins into the feeder tube and slide the plastic lever to bring it under the glass. Push a bit father and then bring it back to see the other side, eject and repeat. Is there anything modern like this?

the last time i got a silver quarter in change was also from a laundromat, 5+ years ago.
i went home and got another $40 and got 2 more.
now the only change i find is my own in the dryer.
There used to be a $1 changer at work that someone discovered would spit out $1.05 in change.
That lasted about a week.
I do remember putting a $1 bill into the vending machines and then hitting the coin return just to look at what came out.
It's a sickness.

You kidding me?
Sometimes I run down to the car wash on Saturday night and put a twenty in just to get quarters to go through; plus, as a bonus, I get the sound of a slot payout.

I once put a $20 bill in a machine for stamps and got back 18 SBA's. Nothing interesting there either.
