The uproar presently in Melbourne occurred in Sydney a few years back.  I
remember the media having some percentage of machines out of order, and the
old favourite story of a machine giving back about ten times more change
than it was supposed to.

The machines aren't that bad anymore - of course, no vending machine will
ever be 100% perfect.  Off topic, I'd say Telstra payphones are far more
unrealiable, and they were supposed to be completely super-sonic!
