<p>[QUOTE="I.B. Washincars, post: 148031, member: 2054"]Being a car wash owner, I can shed a little light on why you seldom (virtually never) get a silver quarter out of a car wash changer. Nearly all car wash coin acceptors are electronic and read the metal content of coins inserted. Most acceptors come from the factory ready to accept only one coin, quarters. Multi-coin acceptors usually come pre-programmed for quarters and dollar coins and have the ability to be programmed for one or more tokens. I use the multi-coin variety since I dispense dollar coins, quarters, and tokens at my washes. I just grabbed a silver quarter from my collection and programmed it into my acceptors as if it were a token valued at a quarter. I know of no other operators that program the silver quarter into their acceptors. I get one every now and then, but trust me it never makes it into the changer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pat[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
