The machines take magnetic cards, which also operate Xerox machines.Each card can hold up to 400 ticks. Vending machines sell cards with 5 ticks for $1. A card can hold up to 400 ticks total. The quantity discount is something like: 1-100 ticks 10 ticks/dollar 101-200 ticks 14 ticks/dollar 201-399 ticks 17 ticks/dollar 400 ticks 20 ticks/dollar My card says "Dual Office Supplies, 2411 Bond St, University Park, IL 60466, (312) 534-1500". Perhaps these people (the card sellers) know about the vending machines.
