Does the machine not accept Euro notes? Since that might be a problem for most of us I imagine!
Some do, some don't. You'd often get a row of machines, where only the one at the end accepts notes. In theory, "information" might be kind enough to break your note into coins, but:
The machines don't accept notes, and the vendors don't like giving change either.
However, I was able to use my (non chip/pin) credit card -- at first I didn't see that the machine actually had two slots - one for chip/pin cards, another for swipe cards.
I also managed to demagnetize my ticket, which made for an interesting time transferring to the metro.
