First I wanna say sorry if you all don't like reading these stories, but I don't have anyone else to share with; and being so happy about them I wanna share!

Second my Grandfather was my coin collector partner, he worked at Coke coca for 45 years as a delivery man, blue collar, hard worker

I just got this today to help honor his memory of coins and coke
Was it over priced? sure maybe.. will I get my money back out of it? 50 years from now maybe my kids will, but for now I love it this

I remember when these were being advertised. They are cool.

As far as being over priced, its a matter of viewpoint. How can you put a price on fun? If you have the cash, the desire, and enjoy it...that's what hobbies are all about.

I write this as a way of helping justify my hopefully soon-to-be purchase of a mini milling machine😆

I saw the cap coin - but didn't know they had a whole vending machine!

That IS super cool! (I want the coin - now I may want the whole set-up)

Hey W, as far as I am concerned, post away. Collecting should be fun, if it is not, then a person has the wrong idea.

That is some really cool stuff there, thanks for sharing.

Sorry, been away from wwwebbing around since last thursday.

I am old school...manual. Would love an old Bridgeport, but have to be realistic. Got an old Atlas 10" lathe last year (wanting to restore for fun), and this year going for the milling machine. Tired of modern junk always breaking. From now on I plan on making what I need/want!

Wow - would have been amazing. I saw a treadle powered metal lathe restoration on a youtube video - would have been fun to try!

Bringing this back around to the OP's post - I wish someone would make a Pepsi coin like this!
