The food machine accepted coins and $1 bills, but not $1 coins or other bills? It almost sounds intentionally designed to be as difficult to use as possible. (I realize the $1 coin is larger and newer, and accepting larger denomination bills would mean dispensing more change, but still.)

USPS vending machines are well-known as the main non-bank source of $1 coins. (E.g. insert a $10 bill for $7 worth of stamps, and get 3x $1 coins back.) IIRC, a long time ago they didn't actually take these coins as payment in the first place...
