Thanks for the information, but I now confused.  Obviously these machines
accept the larger denomination coins normally designed for collectors.	Why
else would a vending machine only take coins, but issue $20 in change?	If
they issue such a large amount of change, surely they take notes ... if they
only take coins, why so much change?  Am I missing something?
