jbuck Moderator United States 195953 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:36 pm Quote: I sure wouldn't have a problem with that on the larger machines. Indeed. On second thought, it is probably easier for the industry to convert them to accept electronic payment, if they have not already. I really have no idea. The only laundromat I have seen recently is the one in my son's dorm and those machines are free to use. And by free, I am sure it is included in the housing fee, which is so high I believe that is the least they could do.

Vector Ze Pillar of the Community United States 638 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:07 pm I haven't set foot in a laundramat in decades. But, I would think that by now, even the smallest machines would cost over a $1 to run. I think the regular machines were already $1.25 by the late 1980s. I would also expect them to commonly accept plastic, by now. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20047 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:11 pm Stop the production of ALL circulating coinage, fully close all the branch mints and convert Philly into a collector only producer (and have the BEP take-up the unneeded space occupied by dead machines). Round all CASH transactions to the nearest $1 and keep electronic payments to the cent. Our government has inflated our currency into dust and they're not stopping. Coins are becoming inconvenient, worthless slugs of metal in commerce. We spend hundreds of billions $$$ a year handling, producing and transporting heavy, metal slugs of little value. There are thousands of diesel spewing semi's and Brinks trucks carting around slugs of metal - every single day 24/7/365 scattered across America. Add to that all the human hours spent dealing and handling coins - they no longer make economic or common sense. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Round all CASH transactions to the nearest $1 and keep electronic payments to the cent. That is a bold idea! Ten years ago I would have died on that hill, but today, meh. Do it!
