Newspaper machines and soda vending machines operate very differently. The newspaper machine is a mechanical box. You place your four quarters in the machine and you open the door and low and behold there is a stack of newspapers at your disposal

Most people take one and close the door for the next patron to purchase his own copy. But notice that soda vending machines don't operate the same way.
