A vending machine provides snacks, beverages, lottery tickets, and other products to consumers without a cashier. Items sold via these machines vary by country and region. In some countries, merchants may sell alcoholic beverages such as beer through vending machines, while other countries do not allow this practice (usually because of dram shop laws).

While vending machines use a variety of methods to read bills, they check four different characteristics used to verify paper money: Bills are printed with magnetic ink, and different denominations generate distinctive magnetic fields. Bills have different conductivities (the rate at which they can conduct low levels of electricity). Ultraviolet scanning technology can determine the different fluorescent properties of bills. Digital cameras can reference the optical patterns in bills with a database of authentic patterns. A vending machine has to verify whether a bill is authentic before it determines its value.
