Are you sure quarters are worth the weight penalty in 2014? This should work out to about 3 lbs!

I suppose there are a few parking meters that take quarters but the major use, pay telephones, no longer exist! Almost all vending machines that I see take dollar bills.

Is there another use that I didn't think of?


I have $10 in a roll of quarters in my car for parking meters, vending machines etc. It has been in the car since 2006 and I have yet to use it. The roll is still unopened.

I visit a country in Eastern Europe once a year. They do not have any coins at all in their currency---just bills. I have a feeling we are headed in the same direction.
