The two larger coins are from Canada and easily pass off as a U.S. quarter and dime. How could someone accept that little coin!? It’s a Sverge 10 Ore from Sweden. Too bad it’s not a
rare 1964 coin.

The Pop machine was smart because your Canadian “currency” is worth 1/10th of its American counterpart. I bet it would take a Euro coin in an instant.
