About this exhibit
The first vending machine in human history
It is the oldest automatic vending machine in history. It was placed outside temples and allowed the faithful to obtain holy water by dropping a five-drachma coin into a vessel. The coin fell onto the disc of a balance, the diversion of which opened a conical valve and certain amount of water out flowed.
