This product is coming soon and is just for MDB coin changers/coin mechs right now.  But this cool new MEI product is the Cashflow Series 2000 VNR Vending Recycler.  It has a flashy front bezel with leds on it and can also use standard non-flashy bezels.  But the best feature is the bill recycler piece.  The recycler module holds up to 30 bills then will spit them out for change instead of a bill breaker.  Just think about having one of these in your entry unit and giving bills as change instead of change!

$6,192.00 water bill!

The Birmingham Water Works messed up on my bill and about 15,000 others.  But it was kind of shocking when you open the mail and the bill is $6,192 instead of around $100.  The billing date was 05-19-1920 and the due date was 06-02-1920.  This event made the news and the official said “it was a computer problem”.  Really?  I thought they were hand written.
