...can actually tell the difference between American and Canadian money! :confused:

 

I tried using a Canadian quarter and dime today in a soda machine, and it kept spitting them back out, as if it somehow knew that the Canadian money was only worth 3/4 of the American equivalent. :lol:

 

Anyway, I'm sitting here comparing the two coins to the American counterparts, and as far as I can tell, they're the same size and weight. I guess soda machines have more complicated machinery than I thought.

 

 

This has been the Waste of Time of the Day, brought to you by Tom.

yay! i enjoyed it!

I know! I hate it when all you have is an american quarter and you want to get something out of a vending machine but it won't let you...so you have to go beg a quarter off of someone...

Anybody who can tell me how the inside of a soda machine works will win this prize, which I will randomly pull out of my pocket...

 

*fishes in pocket*

 

A Canadian quarter!

oh well thats great...

A CANADIAN QUARTER?! I can use that for my laundry!! GIMME GIMME!!

 

The pop machine in my old highschool took american quarters..wooooooo

it all about how much the coins weigh. thats why newer canadian quarters dont work so well in vending machines here.

i actually have a huge pile of change on my desk. *estimates* probably at least 20 bucks worth in twonies and loonies alone.

:lol:

Yeah, actually I have a nice pile of change too, which is where I pulled out the Canadian change from in the first place.

 

Probably not 20 bucks worth, but we don't have $2 coins here and $1 coins are exceedingly rare. :P

*looks at stack of twonies*

Yes... I know that.. When I was at a McDonald's in Canada, they had pop machines there and stuff, and we had to get some Canadian money to get something out of there.

:lol:

I have a major problem with pop machines :lol: EVERY SINGLE TIME I use them, they eat my coins, it's like a curse! :/

They must know it's you. :P

That's the conclusion I've reached too. :P
