arrgh. I finally got to write it. and it still needed others to touch-up. I am so glad that people are paying attention and fixing stuff. I fix what I see, but it is really hard to see your own mistakes.

Vending machines are MACHINES!
But this article tells little about it. I think this article could use more explainations on this aspect.
Y'know, it could use an explanation of precisely how a vending machine tells the difference between various bills and coins and such....
It's what I came looking for, at least. --130.156.22.254 15:42, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- In that case, you're looking for explanations about the way coin operated machines work. I'm not sure if this article would be suitable for that kind of information, but since I can't find an article talking about coin-op machines as a whole, perhaps that kind of info would fit here, yeah. I've seen exactly what you're looking for on David MacCaulay's The Way Things Work multimedia encyclopedia. It's meant for children, I know, but it explains the coin/token operation process perfectly, with animations and all. – Mackeriv 14:02, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Fails to mention that vending machines date back to ancient times. --Daniel C. Boyer 13:38, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Vending machines from the ancient times? And those would be...? – Mackeriv 14:02, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
