Quoted from Bribo13:I brought home a Bally On Beam several weeks ago and all over the bottom board were a bunch ( 46 ) of silver dimes .
I found this a bit odd not the money part but the Silver dimes .
This is a 1969 machine and they stopped issuing silver dimes in 1964 . Were silver coins still in circulation and being used in the late 60's and early 1970's
Is this an unusual occurrence or have others found similar things .

I picked up a Vendo 44 Coke machine from a Phillips 66 gas station that hadnt been open since 1960.
The coin changer was full of silver dimes,buffalo nickles and the coin box had a lot of old quarters. The sodas sold for 10 cents a bottle but the coin mech took quarters. The newest coin was 1958.
Animals had chewed off the line cord. I put a new cord, plugged it in and it was super cold in 10 mins. Thermostat worked perfectly.
I guess that a 1/5 HP compressor is plenty for a tiny machine in the direct sunlight.
