Smaller loads, more change, no need for repairs. Either that or EMPTY YOUR DAMN POCKETS, YOU HEATHEN. Sorry. That was the ex-wife/current mom coming out. At least it was change and not rocks, rubber bands, paperclips, pens, two pencils, a crayon, a big ball of belly button fuzz collected since 2001, .45, a bullet shell, a now blank piece of paper with the most important school assignment EVER on it, a tiny plastic dwarf, half a sock, and three erasers. That's what I usually find. Oh, and the dead lizard once. Boys. Doesn't matter what age, you just have to remind them to empty pockets every single freakin' time they take their pants off.

By designing a washer that breaks when you wash change, it adds higher-margin revenue and improves the bottom line. Welcome to the new economy.
