Finally saw a vending machine accepting $2 bills
CTA - El stations have vending machines that accept $2 bills. Still
haven't found other's yet. Thinking back to my last Vegas trip - I don't think I ever tried feeding any into slots. Anyone have luck finding a machine accepting $2 bills? And why do the newspapers (that sell for 50 cents) vending machines state "use any combination except pennies" but don't accept a half- dollar. Ugh. |

Not really gambling regs related, but more so related to competition. When your casino is the only game in town (as with the Indian Rip-Offs), you can be stingy and people will still 'zombie out' at them. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

Anyone have luck finding a machine accepting $2 bills? I have found quite a few machines that take $2 bills, although most are not labeled as taking them, and I haven't tried in too many vending machines that sell soda or snacks. Self-service car washes often take them, as do a few of the (annoying) self-service checkout machines at supermarkets and home improvement stores. And why do the newspapers (that sell for 50 cents) vending machines state "use any combination except pennies" but don't accept a half- dollar. Ugh. That has always annoyed me too. With the price of newspapers, you'd think they'd not force you to put in a load of quarters just to buy the paper. Paul -- Paul Anderson OpenVMS Engineering Hewlett-Packard Company |

I use $2 bills in Meijers, a major midwestern grocery chain on a regular
basis. Kroger's doesn't take them, nor does Wally World. I have also used them successfully in soda machines in malls etc. |

They have a big slash through the half and dollar coin insignias. At the downtown workplace that had a sign stating not to insert pennies as they jam the vending machine. Almost crossed off pennies and wrote in cents but didn't ;-) Newspaper machines have too small of a slot for a half or dollar coin *sigh* |

They may also be required to dispense them if you can insert large bills to pay. |
