Workman Vending Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Anybody here ever try vending foreign coins in acorn caps? You can buy them buy the pound for cheap and it's not something that I see around. I believe it would be something that would appeal to both kids and adults. If anybody does it, do you vend for .50 or .75? What does your display card look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large vendor around here vends them from time to time. They have what looks like a homemade display "Coins of the World". They vend them for .50. Not sure how they sell.

rodney69 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 That's a great way to get rid of the CA quarters sprinkled with others that we've gotten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikaKazak Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've only seen it once, at a coin dealer's shop. It got me to spend a quarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 C&S is a huge operator that specializes in vending coins. All U.S. Coins. Seems to do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerformaVending Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've seen it done by some guys that must run lines up and down the Interstate. Truck stops mostly it seems. I did see a homebrew display once selling "Coins and Treasure" in a Tomy Gacha unit of all things at a roadside diner, but I don't recall what the pricing was. I thought about giving it a try, but I'd need the right spot for it, and I don't have anything that quite fits the bill yet. If/when I do, rest assured I'll post metrics.

PerformaVending Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 While perusing eBay I saw THIS little number. Looks like someone else tried it with a Victor 77 of all things. I guess it didn't work out (as the unit is for sale), but I would be curious as to how well it did before it declined- if that's even what happened. Interesting stuff.
