What kind of money does a ordinary vending machine accept in the US?

Question

I put penny's and dimes in and it dosent even count or accept them so it was a waste. But dimes and quarters makes the machine happy... Some machines just don't count money at all..

Any vending machine that accepts more than one type of coin should accept nickels, dimes, quarters and dollar coins. They are all designed that way. Generally they have a shield that blocks dollar coins. Terrible idea as those are the highest value coins but few people carry them so few notice.These machines can be programmed to only accept specific coins. This is also a bad idea. If possible you should shift your business to other machines.

Okay so the "kind" of money changes with every vending machines. Some actually accept pennies :D. If you use quarters, dimes and bills you should be mostly good though be careful some actually don't accept dimes. So keeping some bills on you and quarters you should be good to go.

The coin slot usually takes nickels, dimes, and quarters. Some take dollar coins, but older ones do not.If the machine has a bill slot, it takes $1 bills. Some take larger bills, if the items for sale cost several dollars.Some take credit cards.
