Nickel machines need old buffalo nickels in my experience, to function properly without jamming, and even the no-date coins are somewhat expensive. And messy, too.
Quarter machines, same sort of issue. To make the machine look vintage, you need old quarters. The current minted quarters don't even look like quarters anymore.
Half-dollar and dollar machines, forget about filling them up...it'll cost you more in coins than the machine is worth.
My vote is for penny machines across the board, for display and curious onlooker use anyway.

I agree Ramegoom!
To say nothing about causing short pays as the newer coins are slightly thicker as shown in these photos below!
