TMS320F28335 will do just about anything you require.

 

A vending machine that accepts credit cards.

 

lol, I'm pretty sure the TMS320F28335 has a peripheral for that....

 

The Intel 4004

You want to buy, GI?

Have one D4004 and three P4002 (320-bit RAM and 4-bit I/O device)

Can't remember where I got them.

I don't want a 4004 although it's a neat / historic IC. My first was an RCA CDP1802 then an 8052 BASIC.

 

Just kidding. It's sort of inspiring to have that bit of historical hardware sitting on my desk...to think of the ingenious coding used to get these to perform amazing tasks at the time.

I seem to recall the duplexer option on my HP Laserjet 4000 is a 4 bit processor.
