There are signs on the machines down here in Mass. that state it's illegal to try to redeem cans that aren't refundable...can't remember what the penalty is. Why don't you try it and find out?

I'm not even sure the machines would take the cans.

My wife redeems cans a couple of times a year when she visits my daughter in Marina Bay. Her story is once you fight off the street people at the redemption manchines to get your nickel, she gets enough money to pay for lunch at Spiro's.

I believe there is a uv illuminated code on the legal cans that the machines detect to keep us from doing the wrong thing.
