Do most modern vending machines accept or reject silver dimes and quarters?

[KampusKop]

I know from reading here that coinstar machines reject silver coins most of the time but what about pop machines and the like?

Far as I know they don't except silver. People get silver from them in change because they are loaded into the change slots by whoever services the machine.

only one way to find out for a given machine (-:

Lady I worked with a few years ago tried to get a coke but the machine would not take the silver quarter. I gave her 25¢ for it and she got her coke.

It looks like the consensus is that war nickels are accepted, silver dimes and quarters are not.

mind if I bring my 2 cents to this ?. I think one thing it depends on is condition. If you try to put a 1964 quarter or dime in one and it is in good enough condition i would think so but if you put in a worn silver quarter or dime it has a less chance of getting accepted. I also think it has to do with the design of the coin if the coin is a silver statehood or washington it has a better chance of getting accepted then say a standing liberty or barber or seated liberty quarter. Same goes for dimes a silver roosevelt has a better chance then a winged liberty or a barber or a seated liberty. this is just my thoughts on this.
