The world today witnesses the most significant development and progress in various fields especially in electronics and artificial intelligence. Therefore, the role of the human element decreases daily and looking for ways can achieve our needs and tasks faster, more efficient, less efforts etc,. becomes increased. A vending machine has intelligent behavior characteristics as they dispense different items with no need for human intervention. This paper presents a prototype automatic vending machine with numerous inputs. and outputs. It was simulated using PROTEUS software and controlled by Arduino Mega2560. It is a coin vending machine since all transactions were done using coins throng coin acceptor. It accepts 250 Dirhams for 165 ml juice and 500 Dirhams for 330 ml cans of Pepsi, Marinda or Seven up. It is monitored by LCD and provided with GSM shield for connectivity between the machine and an owner.
