You need to contact the owner/operator of the laundromat and talk to them about your
desire to use dollar coins instead of dozens of quarters. MANY laundromats have converted as have many self-serve car washes. Not all, just many. It's up to the consumers to talk to the operators and let them know what they would prefer. -- -Fred Shecter Auctions: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...shreadv ector To reply by e-mail, remove zorch two places.

If anyone want dollar coins, all you have to do is go to the local post office and put 5, 10, or 20 dollars (currency) into the stamp machine, and they will give you a whole pocketful of nice new dollars. (At least where I live) I like to stop in once a month and get 20 dollars worth, minus stamp price of course, and circulate them. WHEN, will the manufacturers of vending machines figure out that it is so much easier to use dollar coins than it is to fool around trying to feed a crumpled one dollar bill into a vending machine! When I go to the public Laundromat; the washing machines cost $1.75 each and I use three. The dryers cost $1.00 each and I use two. That's a bunch of quarters. I sure wish that they would switch to dollar coin slots. Maybe we need a law mandating that. Sort of like the law mandating digital televisions by a specific date. Charlie |

I gave 50 of them to a cashier at Wal-mart today and she held them up to the other
cashiers in her cupped hands and proclaimed: "COOL - I'VE GOT GOLDEN!". For every poo-pooer there are many people who like using the Golden Dollar. Just like the posts here. So if you like them, spend lots of them. If you see a negative post, go out of your way to make 3 times the posts that are positive. It *IS* a coin collecting newsgroup after all, not a coin hating newsgroup. But, some folks aren;t happy unless they can hate something and spread their own personal misery to others. What a sad and pitiful way to live. ;-) -- -Fred Shecter Auctions: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...shreadv ector To reply by e-mail, remove zorch two places.

"Fred Shecter" sez...
For every poo-pooer there are many people who like using the Golden Dollar. No Fred, one more time. For every poo-pooer there are millions of other poo-pooers and/or those that don't GAS. For everyone like you, there are perhaps another handful scattered amongst the cosmos and 2-3 of them have gathered here. "Those" are the real numbers. It *IS* a coin collecting newsgroup after all, not a coin hating newsgroup. It is *not* a $ coin lovers NG either. See above. "COOL - I'VE GOT GOLDEN!". "Now would everyone standing in line behind Mr. Shecter please go find another register. This one is now closed, until such time my Manager can come down out of his cozy office above and take these 9,5 pounds of gold colored alloy off my hands, because my register wasn't designed to hold more than 6 of these damn things." Mr. Shecter then tells the Manager about the new NCR model SAC-NOW-WOW register designed to hold nothing but sacs of Gaweas, SBA's and deuces. Sensing impending lunacy about to erupt, the Manager escorts Mr. Shecter from the premises, while Fred screams...."I'll call the 800 number on you, you lying social miscreant you!" Always here for my fellow syngraphist or oenophile. --=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=-- |

... From: "Edwin Johnston" "Rumors of my early demise have been greatly exaggerated." -- Sacagewea That was Mark Twain, upon learning that his obituary had been published. "I'd rather be in Philadelphia." -- W.C. Fields Actually, the quote was: "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." .... it was what he had requested to be inscribed upon his tombstone. No, not the pizza. After his death, his relatives did not honor this request, opting for the simple epitaph: "William Claude Fields 1880 - 1946" Some famous (infamous) last words & such: snip "Ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man." -- Mercutio, "Romeo and Juliet" |
