The vending machine thing is a criminal offence, I'm on the fence as to whether that would be a theft or a fraud (leaning towards fraud). The machines we have here will spit out the same coin you put in if you hit "eject", so I'm not sure it would even work.

It's fraud. If I was working customs, I would question you. And then you would be in really big trouble. How about your work for a living rather then trying to rip off the government. Yes. It’s fraud.

Although I've done stuff like this and got away with it. Just do it at a place you never go to so you aren't recognizable and wipe your fingerprints off of them beforehand. I doubt they would actually check for fingerprints but its better safe then sorry. Yes its illegal, I think it falls under fraud. Although I’ve done stuff like this and got away with it.

In situations like this, even though the company is still receiving a coin in exchange for their 10p, the jamaican coin is worth considerably less than the UK coin. Even though the vending machine company can still exchange the jamaican cent into UK sterling if they want, you are still paying less than 10p to take their 10p. Therefore it is stealing. Therefore it is illegal. Just because it is a faceless corporation that you are stealing from, it doesn't water down the crime at all. It most certainly is illegal.
