A little research will discover them. Those little capsule machines have been around a long time with many little items in them.

I've seen those before. Years ago. Got some crappy foreign note that got killed by the Iron Curtain collapsing for I think a quarter.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a hot seller. Get a machine, get the capsules, get some inventory, get some plastic baggies to minimize damage and rattling if it's coins, and find a spot to set it up.

Trouble is security. Betcha one determined crackhead or group of kids will easily swipe your machine a/or stock with one smash and grab.

So, for 75 cents, you "could" get a silver certificate, or a number of other coins that aren't gonna be in there?

Sweet.
