After putting the card in the machine a message appears: "change is possible." IMO it should be "change is available" then I will know that I definitely can get my change!

This is something that irritates me a little

It sounds more like a philosophical statement than a practical one

'Available' is a bit definite perhaps. 'Possible' might suggest that sometimes, on a good day, when the machine has just been filled, then maybe change might be available.

The parking machine is buddhist and hoping to come back as a railway ticket machine in a future life?
