Does anyone own or have access to a dollar bill changer? A $1 to 4 quarters would be fine. Last year, Coins seemed scarce due to parking meters. I only remember being able to get change via buying a Coke. I *really* need a machine for special (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

The GMU facility has a bill changer on the first floor next to the vending machines. It is primarily used for getting change for the on street parking meters. How many dollars, in quarters, do you expect that you will need? Christina Hitchcock (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

If I recall correctly, this machine ran out of change fairly quickly last year. Just an observation, as I remember having to hunt down change myself.

Yeah, it does, but last year the machine was empty by Saturday afternoon, thanks to all the Brickfestians running around. The pop machines were pretty cleaned out too. I suspect we'll have the same situation again this year, as there are as many, if (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Other people have posted helpful suggestions, but I'm still wondering whether it is the coins you want, or, as you say, the machine you need. After all, your question is not "Does anyone own or have access to coins I could buy?" I do not have such a (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) yeah, it's as I said: (...) I don't want to say too much about the project yet. It'd be doubly good if I had a machine there, so that people could use it for parking meters too.
