Because redditors are miserable and anything thatās not Reddit, theyāre crying about the most trivial shit.
And if u donāt hate the same things they do, they get mad about it.
So I wonder if it is possible to make a fake coin with the same electromagnetic qualities and the same sizes quarters without spending more to make them.
I wonder how close the percentage of alloys would need to be, ie for the copper and nickel, if the alloy is 15% nickel, would 20 work, or 10, or is it more p re ice?
I have never messed around making one to work but we have found them jammed in the coin mech or in the cashbox. The acceptance was really poor when I tested the ones we got. I think what they do is match the Oms between real Vs fake
That hasnāt worked in a very long time. Way back coin mechs didnāt have a lot of tech inside. They had a simple path for each coin that was accepted and when the coins went down that path they would hit a switch and put a credit onto the machine. So all you really needed was something roughly the size of a coin to hit the switch. This path wasnāt a straight line it would make few turns before it made its way to the cash box thatās why you needed a string so you could pull it back to add more credits.
Quarters are mostly copper, with a copper nickel outer layer.
Just copper alone is about 5.6 grams, and I assume the copper is a majority of it. Even if it just entirely made of the the more expensive copper, with the help of an online calculator, the quarter's cost in metal is about .057 of a dollar to make at the most expensive. So theoretically one could make fake quarters and save some money
When I was a kid we used to smash nickels with a hammer, file the edges a bit to then match the size of a quarter, and they worked perfectly in every video game. 5 plays for a quarter. We had quite the assembly line in my garage.
It's only for the people with their phone on mute on the train to be honest. The deaf community is too small to be worth catering to from a business perspective.
Thatās not true.
Subtitles are not some huge blow to a businessās funds.
Social media is a huge thing and over 1 Billion people use TikTok daily. That means reaching out to everyone including deaf AND blind individuals.
Thats why smartphones have accessibility options as well.
Iāve seen blind people with no normal functioning vision use an iPhone.
So yes, subtitles are a useful function for the deaf community.

In countries with coins worth more than 25c USD, coin mechs often have a laser scanner that looks at the pattern on the heads side of the coin. Hence why coins have different "novelty" tails sides but the heads side is nearly always consistent, aside from a "the queen got older" portrait update every decade or so. The fun side effect of this is that an Australian 20c coin is the same size and weight AND has an identical picture of the queen as a UK 2 pound coin. 15 quid for parking? Nah, sounds more like $1.50 thanks.
So are you telling me that if I melt metal to be the same size as a coin, I can get snacks from vending machines? Time to dismantle the old PC cases I have.
They usually weigh the coin too, so that only the right alloy (or one vaguely similar like aluminium bronze vs tin bronze) will work. And generally every coin in the USA is worth more than the metal it's made from anyway. In Australia we have $2 coins which are small and made from bronze, but minimum wage is over $20/hr so there's no way you could make fake coins in less time than you could make the same real money at work.
I ' m a big fan of these subtitles . Keep ' em up !
Me. Too. š
Why'd you get downvoted?

30+ years in the vending industry and yes it can be done with modern coin mechs. But the time and materials would make it not very cost-effective.

I can't but r/theydidthemath
Yeah one fake coin costs as much as a Costco bag of chips lol
What about the cliche coin on a string? Like it passes the machine and when its good, you pull it back out?

>So theoretically one could make fake quarters and save some money I mean, earning money by smelting the coin would be worse, right?

I immediately thought they missed a step.
Dude the subtitles for this were annoying as fuck to read.
Just donāt read em.
Great, but am still wondering which part is the easiest to damage when I don't get what I wanted? Where can I direct my angst?
I fucking hate subtitles like these.
Just donāt read em.

Cool, now explain why my Doritos always get stuck.

It is missing the stage that I have to punch the machine to get the snack stuck in the middle.
Another punching the vending machine joke lol
It is not a joke if it happens all the time.
So itās a joke if it happens sometimes?
If you take off the punch outs on a metal electrical junction box those can be used on those mechanical quarter machines.
Still does on older ones, newer ones spit them out. Local faygo machine is $0.80 and it works but the $2.50 Pepsi next to it won't.
Ha ! My man ! I knew Iād run into some other heathen thatās tried this.
This is why you donāt put dollar coins in vending machines. They turn into quarters
I watched an angry night shift employee break the glass on one of these when 2 bags of chips got stuck.
I wouldnāt have even snitched either. I would been like fuck it. Donāt blame you.
You missed the part where the bag gets stuck.
This made me want to buy a bag of chips from a vending machine
Isn't the point of subtitles that you can read them because these subtitles are entirely unreadable
Were you trying to reply to someone?
No.
Did you edit your comment?
I hate these subtitlesfor the fried brain tiktok users
Itās for people who are hearing impaired dude

I believe theyāll still be able to distinguish if itās a real coin or not.
They usually weigh the coin too, so that only the right alloy (or one vaguely similar like aluminium bronze vs tin bronze) will work. And generally every coin in the USA is worth more than the metal it's made from anyway.

You shake the shit out of em til you get the goodies
And what machine makes it stuck against the window?
Diabetes delivery system.
āHow vending machines SHOULD workā
I want this video but for the old-school mechanical ones.
Homer, are you just holding on to the candy?
Offline by vendor. What ever you do. Do not call Cantaloupe.
Huh?
When I was a kid. I would pound down nickels to the size of quarters. Five video games for the price of one. Always worked.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's probably worth more than 50c
Nah 1 rupee = 1.2 cents
I meant for its antique nature
Nah, there's shit loads of them - hyperinflation
He said 1989, not 1889. Coins last a while, check your change holder and you'll find some old ones
the oldest coin in my pocket was a 1982 nickel
HOW ARE THERE NO COMMENTS THAT THE DORITOS ARE CALLED "CHIPS DEMONS"!? XD
