Ah, but he said a *soda* (pop) vending machine. Presumably monorail
rides cost more.
For other sorts of machines, I've seen ones that take bills all the way
up to $100 Canadian (selling phone cards) and 100 Swiss francs (selling
train tickets), both of which denominations would be over $80 US.

On the Toronto transit system, most fare-media purchases are handed
by a human, but there are also machines selling tokens and weekly and
monthly passes. The token machines only take cash (in fact, only $10
and $20 bills, or coins if you're paying equivalent of the cash fare
to buy a single token) -- but the pass machines take only debit cards.
