    wow. i don't know where you live. last time i checked most of them still do.

    last time i bought a ten ride bus ticket i had to use my debit card. the bill slot would suck anything in alright, but then spit it back out.

    if they're making them smart enough to read any way up and with crinkles that's fine. but i don't really have much occasion to use them now a days, and i haven't run into one of those yet.

    Yeah please OP show me where you find these change machines that don't demand a fresh completely wrinkle free bill. I have had to just give up and get change from a cashier more then once.

    I remember cheating the system with washers.
    That was always fun.
    Didn't have money for a can of coke, all good though, pull apart nuts and bolts on the street, grab washers, "buy" coke. =D

    i dont trust machines enough to insert paper money

    actually our paper money is plastic now so i guess it would work easier since the plastic ones dont wrinkle much
