Default awesome dupe trick:

1. find a vending machine and put a penny inside
2. push the button that returns your change
3. repeat until a dime comes out

the way the trick works is that sometimes pennies get mistaken for dimes in vending machines. Sometimes you won't get anything back, but it doesn't matter because the trick works more than 10% of the time so you usually end up profiting.

How is this a dupe trick?

You should end up with 2 pennies... with your "trick" you loose your penny and end up with a dime. It's not the same thing much less 2 of the same thing.

Makes no sense anyway... everyone knows pennies are better than dimes cause they are bigger.

I used to do this kinda shit in highschool.

I remember one of our vending machines would sometimes count a quarter and return it at the same time as you put it in. I quickly realized I could just keep slamming quarters through and then get more returned to me to make money, and abused that as long as it worked.

Another thing I learned fairly early on was that you could abuse jammed coin slots to make some quick change. Just jam a slot when no one is around, then later once some coins have built up get a gatorade bottle and take the little orange ring off the top. Cut that ring and it becomes an amazing tool for fishing coins out of a slot.

How about the tape a long string or some kind of handle to the very tail end of a dollar bill. Could put it in, and then rip it back out, and you got full price!

Sometimes, your tail would rip, and you'd be screwed, but sometimes it worked!

I just held the button down for whatever drink I wanted and would hit the machine with the bottom of my first in a certain spot. That would make the drink fall out. It worked on several different machines over the years.

i knew one sorta like this. I held the button in, released it a SLIGHT bit, and hit buttons for other drinks while still holding the first button in. This would allow me to get 1-3 extra sodas until i eventually shifted and lost correct pressure on the original button.

There was a soda machine at a community college near where one of my friends lived that we used to make a grip from.. Get a high volume spray bottle (like from a hardware store, not a hair spritzer piece of crap) and fill it with highly salted water (like 1/4 cup in a pint or a quart or some shit). Put the setting on stream, and spray that shit into where the coins go.. Shorted out the machine, which for some dumbass reason caused it to empty all of it's change. We'd go back every fridaynight/saturdaymorning with a bag for money and make like $300 a pop. Hellalarious. They fixed it eventually, dunno if it works on newer machines.
