As I mention from time to time, the laundry machines in the apartment where I live are card operated.
You have to prepay for the card and then recharge it when it runs out. Although it costs $3.70 for a wash & dry, you have to put $20, $30 or $50 on the card.
So, I’m always trying to get it to come out to zero and use 100% of what I pay up front.
Today for the first time since 2009 I managed it.

It surprises me how many apartments in the US don't have their own space for a washer and dryer in their own apartment. Just something I've noticed with my US friends.

The place we lived in before we got married we could hook up our own appliances.
But, where we are now they don't allow it.

It is in our lease. No appliance may be hooked up to the water system of the apartment.

The apartment comes with a dishwasher.
And there are laundry machines in the building we can use if we use these pre-pay cards.

It is still better than going to a luandromat.

Card is a pretty good way of doing it, I think. Coins would be a bit of a pest!

We used to have coins and it was a pain as you had to not only have correct change, but the correct combination.
