CajunCandy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 After servicing one of my cold drink machines today, grabbed the money put in bag and threw it in van. I found fifty cents in nickles from Canada! I didn't think the coin mechs. would accept the nickles or any other Canadian money. Any one else experience this problem? Coin mech. is a Mars 6510. I know their is a switch for it not to accept Canadian money, I have it set to accept only USA. cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchligVend Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Every week I get about 2 to 4 Canadian coins that I catch!.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Was the switch set to US Only when it took the Canadiens nickels? Or was it set without rebooting? We used to have ours set to US only but the exchange rate is so close now it does not matter. Better to accept than l one the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah, if you make sure that the US/Can switch is set to US you can reject all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris in bc Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yeah, up here in Canada.....I pray, dream, wish that my money boxes are all full of US coins. With the dollar exchange, I need US coins, really really bad. I pay $1.18 for a US dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris in bc Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I have an older coin sorter, it kicks out all the USA coins. Love it! saves me going to the bank ( enemy #2) and paying those high exchange fees! Pyramid technologies makes a bill acceptor that accepts both US and CAD bills. I just bought 2 and will be trying them out in January! Pyramid is pretty good, cheap also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
