I was using 50 cent, 1 euro and 2 euro coins. I did insert them slowly - always do, as I know they just get spat out if you do ittoo quickly.
In most cases a malfunctioning machine isn't a problem as you can just go to another one. That wasn't the case here as the only other machine at the stop was out of order. Unacceptable (in my opinion) regardless of what the "bye-laws" say....neither is the fact that they don't accept credit cards.
