The future is here.
Inaccurate. You can't buy anything for 25 cents.
A quarter costs 25 cents (unless it's a US quarter on or before 1964 which costs more due to its silver content).
Good luck getting them in quantities less than a roll, though.
I have tons. I get $0.61 in change each night. Save the quarters for laundry and other minor expenses, and the dimes and pennies go into a jar that gets filled up and dumped into the change machine at my credit union
true, it should be a subscription model. can't remember to cancel it if you're dead 😉
Oh god, you probably have to download a janky app with tons of unexplained permissions.
They can get the cost down in they advertise to you just before you die.
I can only imagine the depressing mix of religious content trying to guilt you, shitty funerary services that will send AI-generated quotes to your loved ones or something if you'll just scan the QR code to pay, and online casinos suggesting you whale for them one last time.
Edit: Don't whale too hard though. It's unpaid overtime for the ~~staff~~ independent contractors if somebody can't pay for the machine and makes a mess.
Re-brand it as a liberty booth and sell it as an improvement to the economy and less social services usage to see them pop up all over the US.
