2012 Loonies and toonies don't work in vending machines. They're too light.


On the up side, when I went to get my toonie from the return slot, I found a dollar already in there.

it's because they're entirely steel now with only a coating of brass. before 2011 they were mostly nickle.

I actually tried this when I was much younger. took a washer and filled the centre with solder then filed it down to the same weight (within 0.05 grams) and almost exactly the same dimensions.

it didn't work.

They work in vending machines not owned by lazy people who didn't update their machines

meh. I couldn't have been more than 10 when I tried it. so I'm sure it was even worse than I remember. don't care to retry though.
