change machines

Currency conversion kiosks

Change machines are coin-operated devices that exchange paper currency for coins, typically found in laundromats, arcades, and car washes.

They dispense quarters or other denominations needed to operate nearby machines: I need to hit the change machine before I can do laundry.

Some modern versions also break larger bills into smaller ones.
