If it's a repost, it's now ancient. The exact-change machines have been gone for over a year.

I realize this, I do live in Mass afterall. This is probably the exact reason why we don't have them, they aren't really that exact now are they??

i laughed by tail off. they should install a soda machine that cost like 2 dollars per drink. u put in 2 bucks of change and u get a drink called boston turnpike juice. that can of juice has a barcode, which is read by a walmart style barcode reader. drivers got to present their juice in order to pass through. in other words, u got to have juice (tupac movie) to get through.

but there is a loophole for this one too. some people can toss their juice can back to the driver can tape the juice can to the reader and i read valid code all day, so no body got to pay.

not if each can has an individual barcode that can only be accepted once.


But...that wouldn't be the biggest flaw in your brilliant plan.

The Pike people said they were a major maintenance headache, but I suspect the real reason is more like what you originally posted. They were a net loss of revenue...and money is everything, ya know...

I used to do that on electronic screen signature readers.

I started out with smiley faces, then progressed to penises and boobies.
