Canuckistan Mint needs to chill out & show a lot LESS originality. Never mind my new see-through plastic psychdelic 5s, 10s & 20s. Frantic buggers're putting out shiny new quarter designs (some of them strenuously ugly) about every twenty minutes now, & many of them go straight through cyber-cashiers like shit through a duck, making them just as infuriating & useless as the meat-based placeholders that designed them.
Cash Editor: These United Snakes are on their second go-round of wacky quarter designs, & only the dime hasn't been fugged w/ lately. I only use 'em in the laundry room, but I think they work everywhere. (Gotta look up that new currency. Plastic, eh? Durable, I bet.)
Speaking of grease through a goose/fits in slots, I found the one on the far left on a news rack. Draw your own conclusions. (The aluminium one fer sher won't work.)
Back in my yoof in the '70s, at the height of the first "video game revolution" we discovered that the roundish electrical box punch-outs that littered construction sites would work in many of the pinball machines and games of the time installed at the corner store and pizza joint. This was probably '77 or '78 or so.
They caught on and adjusted them to be a bit more precise so those stopped working, but we then discovered that if you got 20 nickels instead of 4 quarters for your hard-earned lawn-mowing dollar, you could take the nickels home, pound them with a hammer on the sidewalk until they were the size of a quarter, and then they'd work. That was great because not only were we cheating "the man" we were also defacing money.

So which ones fit in slot machines?
Dissent!

Sadly, they eventually caught on to that too.
