| | | | | | | If I recall correctly, this machine ran out of change fairly quickly last year. Just an observation, as I remember having to hunt down change myself.

| | | | | | | Yeah, it does, but last year the machine was empty by Saturday afternoon, thanks to all the Brickfestians running around. The pop machines were pretty cleaned out too.

| | | | Other people have posted helpful suggestions, but I'm still wondering whether it is the coins you want, or, as you say, the machine you need. After all, your question is not "Does anyone own or have access to coins I could buy?" I do not have such a (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
