If Canadian vending machines accept US coins why do US vending machines not accept Canadian coins?
Palazzo
US Coins are worth more than Canadian Coins. If you pay in US currency in Canada, the vendor makes money. If American vendors allowed the reverse, they'd lose money.

Do vending machines contain computer systems?
A vending machine is a computer system inside the vending machines, the machine chooses/looks at the temperatures, and constantly cools/heats the drink, so that the drink will be hot/cold when the person purchases the drink. This use of the vending machine is storing and processing data as they will try and have a consistent temperature for the drink. Recent vending machines have a digital screen that shows the purchaser the different types of credit cards that they can use when they pay. When coins are slotted into the machine, the machine will calculate whether the coins that have been slotted are enough, and will give change through a separate slot. This is an example of Input and Output. Therefore, I think that vending machines are a computer systems.

Were any Susan B. Anthony coins minted for vending machines?
That's not really a valid question because ANY coin can be used in ANY vending machine that's calibrated to accept it. Dollar coins were introduced to help reduce the huge number of $1 bills being printed every year. However the Anthony design failed for a number of reasons, primarily because its design was flawed (ugly, too much like a quarter, etc.). In addition, the vending machine industry had been lobbying for a $1 coin so their machines didn't need bill-acceptors, but when the coin was introduced very few machines were ever converted to accept them so consumers couldn't use the coin as intended. Finally the government refused to stop printing $1 bills so the dollar coin was relegated to niche uses such as bus and trolley fareboxes.
