I disagree, at least from my experience, these are very constant 
policies in shops.

I agree that in a case where denotation acceptance in vending machines 
is really varying, it should not be mapped. But in my experience, those 
are exceptions to the rule that this is generally a quite constant 
feature of such machines.

Kind regards,
