Our laundry room has machines that don’t take quarters. You have to have a special card (which costs) and then you put money on the card via a separate machine which takes plastic, but I don’t think takes cach.
Brave new world.
With all the feeble-minded, drug-dependent, alcoholic residents, giving them something like a cash card for the laundry would probably make them think they were in the casino and beat the machines up because they aren’t paying out.
