In the states, quite often you can encounter all sorts of unusual vending machines. In the photo:
– Coinstar: counts change and converts it into normal money. You dump out the contents of a child’s piggy bank and head to the liquor department around the corner.
– MINUTE KEY (https://www.minutekey.com/): makes a copy of your key. You can even get a personalized designer copy.
– RED BOX. It’s better to explain more about them.
RED BOX (http://www.redbox.com/) – is a vending machine service for renting movie and game discs. Any movie or game from the vending machine can be taken for $1 a day. There are more than 35,000 RedBox machines. Payment for the disc from the machine is done by credit card. You can choose not to return the movie or game, but then more money will be charged to the card. If you return it, it can be to any machine, not just the one it was rented from. Then, the cost of the disc will be charged. They’ve devised something to protect against copying.
I had a similar idea back in 2009 (http://rauf.livejournal.com/609620.html)
– ENGRAVED ID TAGS: A machine for printing tags for pets on collars. Available in various shapes and colors. Well, you know, IF FOUND PLEASE CALL..

– MINI MELTS: A machine for producing unusual granulated ice cream. There’s even one somewhere in Moscow, apparently.
