Planet Antares Vending Machines And Currency Upgrades

Planet Antares vending machines have accepted and overcome the challenge of adapting vending machines to accept new currency designs. As a result, they have been spared the stressful and costly experience of changing from coin operated vending machines to more sophisticated ones.

Basically, new currency designs need to be implemented in the bill changers. Planet Antares vending machines have modernized bill changers that accept the new 5s, 10s and 20s.

Another concern is the one dollar coin which is in circulation within the machines. The purpose of four and five dollar tube changers was to stimulate the flow of dollar coins throughout Planet Antares vending machines. This excludes validators but has been a great boon to stand alone changers.

There are two major different issues:

1. The dollar coin and its acceptance
2. The ability to pay out the dollar coin as change and the redign of currency

Most of the operators would prefer to see the paper dollar bill eliminated. This is feasible and would facilitate conversions of bill changers to take the new currency designs. As a result, conversion kits have become popular among Planet Antares vendors. Purchasing new bill changers can be quite expensive. That makes them out of reach for many vending operators.

On the other hand, updating of vending bill validators is also expensive. The old validators are mostly 1s. To make them current, it will mean upgrading them to accept 5s, 10s and 20s. Planet Antares vending machines have been updated to accept the new currencies.

All in all, you will have to change out slowly to the new demand for currency acceptance for your Planet Antares vending machines.
