How to hax a vending machine to give you large-size coins instead of small ones 

My grandma gave me a roll of 10 cent coins and I've been using them to buy snacks.

Today, I wanted to buy a bottle of iced tea ($1.50!?), but then I remembered I had an extra 5 cents from when I bought a candy bar (85c) and I wanted to get rid of it.

First, I tried inserting 25c then pressing the return button, but it didn't work. So, I inserted $1.75, bought my drink, and it gave me a 25c coin.
