Some more tests
1. Repeat the purchase tests for all the items. Make sure that all items are purchasable.
2. Try to buy more than one item before the chnage return if this function is supported.
3. Try insert some white paper whose shape is same as a dollar bill with some text written on the paper
4. Try to insert some coin shape objects and see what will happen.

Another case could be, try to enter a paper in the machine (will it accept as a dollar?), same for coins, try to enter a circle shaped metal (will it accept as a cent?)
