| Oct 3, 2013 at 9:09 | comment | added | Berker Yüceer | It's well known monkeys are clever little bast... Possibly one of them were trying to find food (because people destroyed their habitats and feeding routine now they must steal from man to survive) and then seen a guy buying drink/food from a vending machine. In my opinion any animal can think about it. After it watches people getting food from a box in change of some metal, over and over again, it finally tries the man's way. This has a real high possibility. There is a gorilla that can speak with humans by using signs. documentarystorm.com/koko-a-talking-gorilla | |

| Sep 28, 2013 at 10:23 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | I went hunting for the origin of this story. I failed to find it, but it seems to mutate a lot. The location is called Minoh but it is also written as Mino, Minoo, Minō and Mino-o. Some stories have the monkeys stealing money, some accepting money and spending it, and some merely stealing from the vending machine when you put money in (sounds more plausible). The rumours existed in 2005. Some say they no longer can do it, now that the drinks cost more than one coin. (Alternatively, maybe the vending machines were changed to avoid the problem??) | |

Fix spelling and word choice.
