I've been running the vending machines (2 pop, 1 candy) where I work for a little over a year now, and have been able to overcome any problems I've encountered... until now.
In the candy machine, near as I can tell, the coin mech is a TRC-6000ish model. So I count the money every week, take it to the bank, etc. I deal primarily in quarters (pop .50, candy .75), counting and dealing with the dimes and nickels only when necessary. They are the bane of my existence. In an attempt to deal with the dimes and nickels as little as possible, I run the slots for each down to near-empty, and let any dimes and nickels used be routed there so I'm only dealing with quarters when I'm counting. Onto the problem...
The coin mech has stopped loading the dime and nickel tubes. They're near empty (but covering the sensors at the bottom of the tubes), but it won't send them into the tubes. Instead, it sends them to the coin box.
Granted, this is primarily an annoyance... but if I don't have to deal with them frequently, I don't want to. Anyone have any idea why the coin mech would do this? Better yet, any idea how to make it stop doing this?
Thanks!
