Ach ! Funny you talk about that ! Austria is now making the world's biggest vending machine so the happy possessors of this coin can enjoy it. I can't tell specifics yet, but after the first two accidents it's safe to assume you'd better stay clear of the "change" slot.

Which is the "heads" side?

That's going to wear a hole in the Jolly Green Giant's pocket, you know. Not to worry. It comes with it's own carrying case.
