I thought that the machine where I work would slow down after the holidays when people are tight for cash............well I was wrong, it's still going strong. MY first ten minutes at work I help 3 people redeem apprx. 700.00 in coin. One guy had over 500.00 in quarters. The Insides of the machine are designed well and the machine can be troubleshooted by store mngmnt by following the on screen diagnostics. I have yet to see the money monster out of commission and believe me some weird stuff ends up in those jars people keep at home and then dump into the machine. It has 2 junk trays inside for pins, needles, paper, foreign coins etc. Magnets pick the pins etc. By the way it doesn't take 1943 STEEL pennies, these end up in the junk tray. Still don't know what stores TAKE is. Hope you enjoy the on-hands insight. jingle--jingle--jingle
