All of them appear to no longer take the new loonie or toonie and it got me thinking. Just wondering who's expense does this end up being the vending machine company, or the mint? Are other people finding this to be a problem also? Report this Post to the Staff

middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 2:46 pm I would guess that all of the new vending machines being produced will take the new loonies and toonies. The older machines will need to be calibrated somehow, or have some parts replaced. I would have toassume that would be at the expense of the vending machine owners. It only makes sense thatin business when things in your industry change, that keeping up with the standard is a cost of staying in business. Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 01/14/2013 10:01 pm I am not sure why the RCM decided to make security features on coins. Is coin fraud really that big of thing to warrant such measures? Report this Post to the Staff
Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 01:12 am I hate it. I think the fact that the 2013 proof set DOES NOT have the dollar/two dollar coin with the security features in it is telling. I think they are an embarassment, and the so-called savings come at a massive cost to private businesses who have to retrofit all their change machines/parking meters/vending machines. They are ugly steel slugs, they look fake, they feel fake, and they will never have any numismatic value. NEVER. Report this Post to the Staff
