Currency Upgrades In Vending Machines

It has been a challenge to adapt vending machines to accept new currency designs and resulted in a stressful and costly experience for struggling Planet Antares vending operators. Basically, it is the bill changer which needs to be fitted to accept new currency designs. Planet Antares vending machines have modernized bill changers that accpet the new 5s, 10s and 20s.

Another concern is the one dollar coin which is in circulation within the machines. The four and five dollar tube changers were intended to stimulate the flow of dollar coins throughout vending machines. This excludes validators but has been a great boon to stand alone changers.

There are two different issues: the dollar coin and its accpetance and the ability to pay out the dollar coin as change and the redign of currency. Most of the operators would prefer to see the paper dollar bill eliminated. This is feasible and would facilitate conversions of bill changers to take the new currency designs.

Conversion kits have become very popular among vending operators and are in great demand. Purchasing new bill changers can be quite expensive. That makes them out of reach for many vending operators.

For vending operators, it has also become expensive to keep the vending validators updated. The old validators are mostly 1s. to make them current, it will mean upgrading them to accept 5s, 10s and 20s. all new vending machines have been updated to accept the new currencies. The $5 bill has become more common in the Planet Antares vending transactions due to inflation.

The vending industry has been purchasing new coin mechanisms that have an extra tube on them for the dollar coin. You will have to change out slowly to the new demand for currency acceptance for your Planet Antares vending machines. It has been cost intensive to convert to new currency designs with some problems keeping up with the demand. Still, it is just another cost of doing business.
