Accepting a particular coin or banknote is among short-living business policies
that can change frequently and is often harder to observe than e.g. opening_hours.
maybe it's a cultural difference:
the shops I know with a sign informing about this prohibition,
have this continuous restriction since the euro notes and
already had the same restriction for the biggest notes
before the euro.
so surely that one is more stable than an opening time
and also easy to observe.
for two of them, it is even more stable than the brand
of the shop.
i would even dare to think that it has the same life span
as the shop manager
Sometimes such changes can even have technical reasons
this does not change the problem: if you have a banknote that
is not accepted by the vending machine, you cannot buy your ticket,
no matter if it is a technical reason or an operator's mood.
and choosing to have a restriction on the number of different banknotes
or coins is not a technical reason, machines without this restriction
are *technically* possible, it is a *choice* made according
to cost and space requirements
