Well Canada issues $1.00 and $2.00 coins and that simplifies using the car washes here, so good luck with that..........

I think you are right, FSI. It is becoming a plastic world...many people don't even carry cash anymore. Maybe it does decrease the chance of being robbed, but it also allows the government to thoroughly document our lives. Personally, I'd rather take the chance on being robbed as long as it's feasible.

There has always been so many different things to do with quarters that I have always kept a pot of them and when they run low, drive through the drive-through bank place and buy several rolls of them.

We still have some coin operated car washes here, but most are at gas stations and are paid for at the pump.

I don't think anyone uses tokens here FS probably be more expensive than small coins. It seems cards will take over eventually. Why change a system if it works, there seems too much of that today.

There aren't any car washes that do coins in my town either! I prefer to use my debit card and so it would make more sense for a business to have the capacity for them as opposed to tokens. I have never cared for them and so I concur with your final point as well! sam

FSI, the coin operated car wash near us has never used tokens to my
knowledge..its quaters or our coin dollars (Loonies) or two dollars (toonies)...right now in my condition I'm relying on the full service car wash where they do "in and out" for $12. plus tax..

R The quarters would be appreciated by me as they are at the Laundromat when I go there. However the trick’s to change the smallest bill like a five for the Laundromat .I don’t know if yours goes bigger than a ten. I would think a twenty would work like the Laundromat 10 at a carwash by your post. BC-A, Bill’s R®st
