In 1979 the US issued a new $1 coin. Seemingly overnight, a black-and-silver sticker reading "This machine will not accept the new dollar coin" appeared on every single Coke machine in the country.

- xenadu02 3y agoThe $1 bill situation has been so ridiculous. I believe congress passed a law that prohibits the treasury from redesigning the $1 so it is stuck being mis-matched to the other bills. Meanwhile everyone seems to have some kind of fit over switching to $1 coins. It never seems to take.
