Everyday when one walk out of the house, it is almost certain that one would see a vending machine. Not many know when did it started but some know how did it started.

It is invented by someone from around 1900 years ago in order to sell Holy water.

Surprise? So am I, never did I would expected thefirst proposed vending machines is to sell holy water. It works by using the coin inserted as a counter weight, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened up a valve which let some water flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off then the lever will snapped back into place by a another weight placed at the other side of the lever.
