Jarred767 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I looked through the forums, but couldn't find anything, sorry if this is a newbie question... So, I'm temporarily up in northern Washington State for a few months and it occurred to me to check CL in Vancouver BC and there are a few good deals on Beavers up there. Would I need new coin mech to accept American quarters though, or are they all the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Quarters will work the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred767 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Cool! Thanks! I hope you're right, got a few lined up to purchase and it would suck to have to change all the mechs on them. But it does seem logical that they'd be interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred767 Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 So I was looking on Beaver's site and if you're buying directly from Beaver, they ask if it's for Canada or US, and states that the mechanism can tell the difference. I'll be checking in the morning directly with customer service, but it sounds like all machines would need a new coin mech. From Beaver, they're roughly $30 each, and not readily found online. I'll update once I find out from them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm in Canada and have Beaver machines, they take either no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarred767 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks guys! Picked up two machines with a Beaver stand for $40 today!! I tested them out and did confirm that they work fine, so I really appreciate all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverVending Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just to clarify, we do make some mechanisms that accept US quarters only, by special request, however the vast majority accept both Canadian and US coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Canadian coins are always going through the mechs- it's just the nature of the business, especially if you're closer to the border. Any stock quarter mech, barring something specifically built to reject magnetic (Canadian) coins will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
