My parents tell the story of the time, before I was born, that they were totally out of money and cigarettes but managed to scrape together just enough for a pack from the machine at the bar. My dad put the money in and the machine jammed. He fought with it until it started spitting money out of the coin return at him. Someone put a Susan B Anthony dollar in, right after they were introduced, and it blocked it up. There was like $10 backed up behind it and it carried them to payday.

But that particular one is an art dispenser at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Or at least they were installed there before the pandemic, I think the hotel has had 2 new owners since then.
