Oh, we bundle the deposit to the can, and trying to trick the machine into accepting something that doesn't actually have the deposit on it would be fraud (you'd get caught if you'd do it at a scale where it'd be worth the effort, so it doesn't really happen). I think small vendors may get away with only accepting what they sell, but supermarkets here have to accept the _types_ of deposit-laden containers they sell. So if they sell Monster Energy cans they also have to accept Rockstar Energy cans, and I'm pretty sure also all the other normal aluminium beverage cans. For reusable bottles it's a bigger effect regarding the "only the types of containers they sell", as a shop without any glass bottles wouldn't have the infrastructure to handle more than individual quantities of reusable glass beer bottles (mostly the matching crates).
