at my apt. complex they installed new washer and dryers w/cash card readers. I find it slightly inconvienient b/c I have to goto the main building to fill the card w/cash (but it does take credit card and debit). Other than that, it is slightly easier b/c I don't have to store $15 in quarters for laundry day.
I stopped using cash about 3 years ago. I keep two checking accounts and one savings account. I have a seperate check card for the second checking account and I transfer money to it for purchases (even at the grocery store just incase someone hits and extra zero and empties my account).

Let your apartment complex know that need an upgrade to credit cards and debit cards or you going to move out. It would be so much easier to do it that way, but who's willing to pay. It's always ours, but I would pay a few hundred more a month for some cutting edge centrally managed biometric reader technology on the laundry machines. With a network of those same type machines all accross the US. ATM's, POS, soda machines, cars, etc. Let's start a new company called BIO___... well it's already taken anyway. We will start this sweet new start-up company....man this going to get tricky getting this one of the ground.
How in the hell would you start implementing something like that anyways? Call Visa I guess! I'm all for convienience. GO BIOMETRICS!!
