Well, if many people were to buy cokes with pennies, wouldn’t the machine’s storage of coins become too full? That’s happened to me as well.

Pennies will fill up the coin sleeve far too quickly and won’t allow too many people to use the pennies anyways.

I feel your pain…I have been in that same situation…I think it has something to do with the capacity of the coins in the machines…

machines are picky, they would rather take our shiny change rather than are copper pennies

Good thing is that most toll booths still take them.

Probably because they would fill up the change receptacle inside the machine since it would take so many of them to buy something.
