The US doesnt have coins of large enough value.
Their $1 upwards are notes, so towers wouldn't be any good.

So are we saying the only reason towers have never gone to the states is because of the currency denominations? or is it a cultural thing where they just prefer bulk vending?

Do you think sweet towers would work in the states if you could overcome the currency denominations?
