I have found that using a $1 token has the potential for additional profit and the reduction of theft risk. If a customer pays $1 for a token that costs me .32 cents and they never use or they lose it, that's .68 cents pure profit for me! Meanwhile, if I need $5000 (value) in my change machine, I would much rather have $5000 in tokens (cost=$1600) than $5000 in $1 coins (cost=$5000) hanging on my wall. That leaves you with $3400 to spend on something else. What are the chances a thief would want to pop a bill changer if they think it's just full of tokens? Now, what are the chances a thief would want to pop a machine full of those shiny new gold $1 coins? PLUS, when you use tokens bank runs are for DEPOSITS ONLY! No more going to pick up MORE $1 coins (or quarters) to fill the hopper. And that also reduces your risk of being seen with "bags of money" coming out of the bank or at the wash.

Hi Ed - my name is Gibson and I'm the Marketing Specialist for TokensDirect and Van Brook. This comment is "spot on" (probably not a good pun for a car wash owner ) and a message that we're trying to get out to SS car wash owners who may still be using quarters/$1 coins and are hesitating making the switch to tokens for one reason or another.
Would it be possible for me to use your post and or name in some marketing materials that I'm preparing detailing the benefits of switching from coinage to tokens?
