Coin and bill acceptors are also included that receive and validate coins and bills and, optionally, pay coins and bills back as change. A product dispenser vends product in response to a signal from the vending machine controller. A cashless payment device reads a customer's cashless payment device and transmits the cashless payment information to the vending machine controller. Finally, the vending machine controller includes a network interface controller for communicating information about the customer's cashless payment device across a network and for receiving information about whether the cashless payment device is valid for making a purchase from the vending machine. A touch screen display communicates messages from the vending machine controller to a customer and interprets customer contact with the display.</p> |
