Haha, if only! Honestly I doubt it would be even heavy enough to go through an arcade machine's coin validation chute. The gumball works though because you physically crank it through the mechanism. If it fits, it ships! Really though, some of those 80s games had so many quarter chomping cheap deaths I wouldn't even feel bad.
That would be a similar system to the locking shopping trolleys. I dont know if you have it over there, but in the UK, some supermarkets have shopping carts that are locked together, and the only way you can get them apart is to put a pound coin in the handle, which is then spat out when you lock it back up. Lots of places sell pound coin sized keyrings for this. Another example I can think of is swimming pool lockers.

When I was a kid I used to go to the arcade at the movie theater and play all the games I wanted all day because i discovered that nickels worked instead of quarters or tokens. $5 lasted me all day. Good times.
I tried something like that several decades ago and it didn't work. Also got confronted by those quarter guys asking about exchanging nickels for quarters. You lucked out.
A lot of problems in Japan with the 500 yen coin being largely counterfeited due to its value. Machines had been tricked accepting 500 Korean won coins (1/10 of yen value) as 500 yen. The coin has been redesigned to increase security.
I remember playing at the arcades with my cousin and brother. I ran out of quarters and had a few dimes and nickels. So I went to the change machine in hopes of putting in 2 dimes and a nickel to get a quarter (I was young). Of course the dime came out. I did the same with a nickel and it came out. Put it in again while holding the coin return and out it came yet again. But when I out it in once more it spat out about $5 in quarters. I thought I broke the change machine. 5 cents = $5. The next time I went back, there was a screw in the coin slot.
Back in the early 2000's, people used to use what my grandma called "slugs" in our washing machines instead of quarters. They were smooth, quarter sized pieces of metal. The machine took them every time and we regularly lost money. 🙄
Oh yeah I remember doing this with some washers that fit perfectly in the coin slot so I just used those for like a year until we had our own washing machine
this reminds me of a time where I took a quarter, traced it over some cardboard and cut it out, stuck it in a gumball machine, and it worked; I was in fifth grade at the time and committing crimes lol
@@TylerTheBassCreator it probably did, people have being doing exactly this for decades. This video is just a waste of time. The piece of cardboard doesn't even need to be quarter shaped. You can open them with a pair of tweezers too, just need to push the latch that the quarter normally pushes. The gumball machines have always been incredibly easy to steal from.
@@neowolf09 I think it could count when you tried to use them. If just caught with them in your pocket it's obviously not money and you could easily say you had no intention of trying to pass it off as real money. But once you use them, even if the quality is bad, you're trying to pass something you made as real money.
Honestly I’m surprised it wasn’t cleaner. Either the original model wasn’t all that polished or he just didn’t have his printer set to print thin layers. I’ve done .04mm layer lines and it’s very close to the seamless models you get from resin prints
@@judas1523 I’d recommend getting one now while there are so many competing brands. It keeps the price down and keeps the quality up.

New entry-grade printers typically cost between $125-$250
Bonus fact: a counterfeit coin specifically meant to trick vending machines and other coin op machines is called a slug. Like the one line from that old song I’m Getting Nuttin’ For Christmas: “Bought some gum with a penny slug, Somebody snitched on me.” I haven’t heard the term used by anyone in a long time. The New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn has displays of many different slugs that people used to ride for free before the MTA stopped using tokens as fare.
@@master_59kg The U.S. legal system doesn't care about facts and logic, disobey and it's jail time! After all, the land of the free has more prisoners than any country on the planet! Both per capita _and_ in total.
Ironically, stamping 6 cents worth of copper and nickle into a slug and calling it a "quarter-dollar" is also counterfeiting, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, and was punishable by death.
I’ll never forget back in 4th grade social studies there was a gumball machine(one of the big ones where the ball rolls down a whole slide so it was fun to do) in the back of the room and we had a bunch of mini tests on the computer and if u got a 100 u got to get a gumball but after u finish the test it tells you the answer to the ones u got wrong so me and my friend just took turns giving each other answers so we could both get gum balls, good times
They ripped that off from pinkie and the brain. "Hey Brain what are we going to do tonight!" "Same thing we do every night pinkie... try to take over the world!!!"
When I was little, I used to always eat these small gummy candies coated with chocolate that was sold in a long tube. For both the ends of the tube, you can pop out the thin circular piece that sealed it. I remember me and my brother had the idea to trace a quarter on the piece and cut it out and see if we could use it in vending machines. The circular piece is a little thinner than a quarter, but IT WORKED. We ended up doing it quite a few times and I can only imagine the annoyance of people who collect the coins
You know how boxes of shoes have holes cut out in the sides of the boxes? When I was a kid I went to a shoe store and gathered a ton of the cardboard circles from the holes and when we were leaving I stuck them in the candy machine at the entrance and it worked lol

Short answer: yes. When I was 12, my mom worked overnights in a flower distributing warehouse and I would go with her. We didn't have the money for the snack vending machines, so one night I found a thin, but very sturdy piece of cardboard, traced a quarter, and used some floral shears to cut out as many quarters as I use. They were somehow heavy enough to do the trick! I had free snacks for a week before my mom's boss made an announcement about the cardboard quarters and holding whomever is doing that "personally responsible". I was never so scared in my life - I fessed up to my mom that it was me and she said she would lose her job if I didn't stop. She never ratted me out, but I never did it again. 😂
This reminds me of when I befriended the new girl and she invited me to her slumber party. She wasn’t in my class, but she invited her entire class and only a few kids showed up. Regardless, I felt like the odd one out, so, as they were playing The Voice, I went upstairs to explore her room. On her dresser, there was a gumball machine and a Chuck E Cheese token. I put the token in the machine, but it got stuck. I went downstairs and told my friend to come with me and told the others to stay behind. They followed us anyways. When my friend tried to get the token unstuck, she accidentally shattered the glass of the gumball machine. Gumballs went all over her room and it was a free-for-all. And, somehow, despite all that, we became BFFs, and we’re still best friends to this day. Next month will be the 10th anniversary of our friendship and, last July, I gave her a new gumball machine for her college dorm. Edit: For those claiming I made this up, here’s video proof from July 2022: ruclips.net/user/shortsPn_z4NHmIOg Also, please stop assuming that I’m a guy in the friendzone. I’m not a guy and she’s been like a sister to me for many years now.

Dude is teaching us how to counterfeit money. The real hero. I’m gonna have 7,000 gumballs and those sticky walk walker things but the end of this week.
This kind of reminds me of the makeshift tokens used in the NYC subway before the metro card was introduced as a method for fare evasion. You can find the tokens on display at the NYC transit museum.
Similar situation with wooden nickels used in slot machines, displayed at the Las Vegas Mob Museum! :D...I imagine less grisly fates for those who simply evaded NYC fares tho...
I have one of those with a square punched through the center on my keychain, along with a penny with a heart punched through it. I'm old and can't remember where I got either of them.
My brother 3D printed a keychain attachment that was coin-shaped for my mom, so she could use that instead of scrounging around the car every time we needed a coin for a shopping cart. Like, you know those shopping carts that you need to insert a coin in order to unattach it from the one in front of it? Yeah, haven't had to stress about forgetting a coin for one of those in a long while.
That's so cool! Over here in the UK many retailers sold these, they were a simple piece of metal in the shape of a pound coin and different places would sell them with different engravings/designs. They were called trolley coins. I feel like a lot of them fell out of use when our pound coin changed shape, but you can probably still get updated ones from online.
@@ItsPREPP98 Not that I disagree with you, the whole thing is really stupid, but it is technically free since you get your coin back when you put it back in the corral and "plug" the cart in front back in. They say it's incentive for people to put away their carts but all it really does is make things harder for people with physical disabilities (nowhere to put them away near handicap parking spots since it's "prime parking") and prevent homeless people from stealing their carts.
Fun fact: in Panama they use U.S. currency, but also have their own currency called balboas. A .25 cent piece Balboa is the exact same size and weight as an American quarter and will work in American vending machines.
The thing about those vintage crank machines, is it's about the weight, not just the size. (Source: parents owned a small business with these when i was in school)
Glad to see someone here isn't clueless, so many people seem to think that just size alone is enough but weight has been a factor with many of these kinds of machines since the Victorian Era, and, became pretty common by around the 1980's in the West, not sure what things are like in the East as I have never left Western Europe.
Either weight or pressure pressure is a big factor main thing is has to apply pressure to the pin i recently bought a few machines myself and was seeing for my self what it would take since obviously I couldn’t break them without worrying and can access the coin mech
No the old ones had nothing to do with wait at all. You place a quarter sized item in there with the right thickness and then you turn it it doesn't go out the slot which would reject other coins, instead it goes past that and then pushes across the mechanism that would stop the dial just like a lock
In some older vendimg machines, these work. When i was a kid in the 90s, you could find metal slugs that were used to test vending machines to make aire they worked. They were only used by the repairman but sometimes they left one behind
Without watching the short video, yes. It works off of the size diameter of a quarter. Anything that shape will work. Back in the day, electric boxes had tabs that you punched out to run conduit through. Most of the boxes tabs were the exact diameter of a quarter.
The reason this works is because there is something that gets pushed into the empty coin slot that stops the turning. The quarter bushes the stopper back and allows you to turn it. You can do this with a piece of paper and have it serve as a ramp.
And this is why modern vending machines not only check for the size of the coin, but also what metal it is made out of (if it is even made out of metal) using magnets
That would actually be such a good idea if you had home gumball machines, because then you can use them with 3d printed tokens rather than having to use real change and them empty it out each time to get another gumball
@@TV-MA.x_x. (reply edited to correct a typo) I mean some people buy them and fill them with gumballs as a novelty thing, or for parties, which is why the 3d printed coin would be a good idea as opposed to having guests use real quarters and them having to fish them out of the machine each time before guests leave

@@ForFucsSakeWhyDidYTchangmyName The U.S. at one time had military bases there. We lived at San Miguel for one year and Subic Bay for two back in the late 70's/early 80's.
@Melo what don't you understand? He said he grew up on base
When I was a kid I used to go to the arcade at the movie theater and play all the games I wanted all day because i discovered that nickels worked instead of quarters or tokens. $5 lasted me all day. Good times.
Ladies and gentlemen, WE FOUND HIM
What a legend
I tried something like that several decades ago and it didn't work. Also got confronted by those quarter guys asking about exchanging nickels for quarters. You lucked out.
A lot of problems in Japan with the 500 yen coin being largely counterfeited due to its value. Machines had been tricked accepting 500 Korean won coins (1/10 of yen value) as 500 yen. The coin has been redesigned to increase security.
I remember playing at the arcades with my cousin and brother. I ran out of quarters and had a few dimes and nickels. So I went to the change machine in hopes of putting in 2 dimes and a nickel to get a quarter (I was young). Of course the dime came out. I did the same with a nickel and it came out. Put it in again while holding the coin return and out it came yet again. But when I out it in once more it spat out about $5 in quarters. I thought I broke the change machine. 5 cents = $5. The next time I went back, there was a screw in the coin slot.
This would be perfect for Aldi carts.

Bonus fact: a counterfeit coin specifically meant to trick vending machines and other coin op machines is called a slug. Like the one line from that old song I’m Getting Nuttin’ For Christmas: “Bought some gum with a penny slug, Somebody snitched on me.” I haven’t heard the term used by anyone in a long time. The New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn has displays of many different slugs that people used to ride for free before the MTA stopped using tokens as fare.
This is not called counterfeit ladies and gentlemen. Just like cutting a paper rectangle isn't counterfeit
@@master_59kg The U.S. legal system doesn't care about facts and logic, disobey and it's jail time! After all, the land of the free has more prisoners than any country on the planet! Both per capita _and_ in total.
Ironically, stamping 6 cents worth of copper and nickle into a slug and calling it a "quarter-dollar" is also counterfeiting, according to the Coinage Act of 1792, and was punishable by death.
I’ll never forget back in 4th grade social studies there was a gumball machine(one of the big ones where the ball rolls down a whole slide so it was fun to do) in the back of the room and we had a bunch of mini tests on the computer and if u got a 100 u got to get a gumball but after u finish the test it tells you the answer to the ones u got wrong so me and my friend just took turns giving each other answers so we could both get gum balls, good times

When I was little, I used to always eat these small gummy candies coated with chocolate that was sold in a long tube. For both the ends of the tube, you can pop out the thin circular piece that sealed it. I remember me and my brother had the idea to trace a quarter on the piece and cut it out and see if we could use it in vending machines. The circular piece is a little thinner than a quarter, but IT WORKED. We ended up doing it quite a few times and I can only imagine the annoyance of people who collect the coins

Short answer: yes. When I was 12, my mom worked overnights in a flower distributing warehouse and I would go with her. We didn't have the money for the snack vending machines, so one night I found a thin, but very sturdy piece of cardboard, traced a quarter, and used some floral shears to cut out as many quarters as I use. They were somehow heavy enough to do the trick! I had free snacks for a week before my mom's boss made an announcement about the cardboard quarters and holding whomever is doing that "personally responsible". I was never so scared in my life - I fessed up to my mom that it was me and she said she would lose her job if I didn't stop. She never ratted me out, but I never did it again. 😂

This reminds me of when I befriended the new girl and she invited me to her slumber party. She wasn’t in my class, but she invited her entire class and only a few kids showed up. Regardless, I felt like the odd one out, so, as they were playing The Voice, I went upstairs to explore her room. On her dresser, there was a gumball machine and a Chuck E Cheese token. I put the token in the machine, but it got stuck.
I went downstairs and told my friend to come with me and told the others to stay behind. They followed us anyways. When my friend tried to get the token unstuck, she accidentally shattered the glass of the gumball machine. Gumballs went all over her room and it was a free-for-all.
And, somehow, despite all that, we became BFFs, and we’re still best friends to this day. Next month will be the 10th anniversary of our friendship and, last July, I gave her a new gumball machine for her college dorm.

I have one of those with a square punched through the center on my keychain, along with a penny with a heart punched through it. I'm old and can't remember where I got either of them.
And now you spent more on the 3d printing than the actual quarter :)
Its a infinite quarter glitch
My brother 3D printed a keychain attachment that was coin-shaped for my mom, so she could use that instead of scrounging around the car every time we needed a coin for a shopping cart.
Like, you know those shopping carts that you need to insert a coin in order to unattach it from the one in front of it? Yeah, haven't had to stress about forgetting a coin for one of those in a long while.
That's so cool! Over here in the UK many retailers sold these, they were a simple piece of metal in the shape of a pound coin and different places would sell them with different engravings/designs. They were called trolley coins. I feel like a lot of them fell out of use when our pound coin changed shape, but you can probably still get updated ones from online.
Why do you guys have to insert money to use shopping carts- it should be free
LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD
@@ItsPREPP98 Not that I disagree with you, the whole thing is really stupid, but it is technically free since you get your coin back when you put it back in the corral and "plug" the cart in front back in.
They say it's incentive for people to put away their carts but all it really does is make things harder for people with physical disabilities (nowhere to put them away near handicap parking spots since it's "prime parking") and prevent homeless people from stealing their carts.
@@0kittykruger0 OHH NOW I GET IT. I thought the coin was just gone. If you get it back after puting it back, it is actually good

Fun fact: in Panama they use U.S. currency, but also have their own currency called balboas. A .25 cent piece Balboa is the exact same size and weight as an American quarter and will work in American vending machines.

i love old gumball machines. I used to really like going to the mall just to go see the store that sold gumball machines.
The thing about those vintage crank machines, is it's about the weight, not just the size. (Source: parents owned a small business with these when i was in school)
Glad to see someone here isn't clueless, so many people seem to think that just size alone is enough but weight has been a factor with many of these kinds of machines since the Victorian Era, and, became pretty common by around the 1980's in the West, not sure what things are like in the East as I have never left Western Europe.
Either weight or pressure pressure is a big factor main thing is has to apply pressure to the pin i recently bought a few machines myself and was seeing for my self what it would take since obviously I couldn’t break them without worrying and can access the coin mech
@@ProvenPyro lol, thinking weight plays a role in a coin operated mechanism. no cost effective.
Same thing with older vending machines and pay phones.
No the old ones had nothing to do with wait at all. You place a quarter sized item in there with the right thickness and then you turn it it doesn't go out the slot which would reject other coins, instead it goes past that and then pushes across the mechanism that would stop the dial just like a lock
He says, "Do not try this at home."
Me: "So it's not okay to use it at home, but is it okay at Walmart?"
My Friends: "You got it dude 😎👍✨️"
Life hacks
In some older vendimg machines, these work. When i was a kid in the 90s, you could find metal slugs that were used to test vending machines to make aire they worked. They were only used by the repairman but sometimes they left one behind
Without watching the short video, yes. It works off of the size diameter of a quarter. Anything that shape will work. Back in the day, electric boxes had tabs that you punched out to run conduit through. Most of the boxes tabs were the exact diameter of a quarter.
The reason this works is because there is something that gets pushed into the empty coin slot that stops the turning. The quarter bushes the stopper back and allows you to turn it. You can do this with a piece of paper and have it serve as a ramp.
If Gen Z turns into criminals now I have a reason.

You sit on a throne of lies.

And this is why modern vending machines not only check for the size of the coin, but also what metal it is made out of (if it is even made out of metal) using magnets
That would actually be such a good idea if you had home gumball machines, because then you can use them with 3d printed tokens rather than having to use real change and them empty it out each time to get another gumball
Just don't put the gumballs into the machine???
@@TV-MA.x_x. (reply edited to correct a typo) I mean some people buy them and fill them with gumballs as a novelty thing, or for parties, which is why the 3d printed coin would be a good idea as opposed to having guests use real quarters and them having to fish them out of the machine each time before guests leave
