    That's too simple and just makes too much sense.

    Even when the coins were paid out AT the machine, some would fail to cash out small amounts ....

    True Story: We met this couple who would spend their evenings going from machine to machine checking to see if someone had failed to collect and/or if any coins were left in the bin. They proudly told us they had already "found" $2.25 that evening! It takes so little to amuse some!

    Bet they HATE the new Coinless Slots!

    SHHHH

    When Joe left to go to the gym at 6 AM -- I would set out for the casino -- found quite a few coins on the floor -- and this in no joke as the crew didn't arrive until 7 or 8 AM.

    One time I really HIT!! -- Eleven Dollars!! -- And all I did was walk around the machines and pick up a bunch of coins!!

    On the R and S class ships -- to get to the dining room quickly from the Ocean Bar we would cut through the casino -- and guess what -- I would always find coins on the floor.

    I really miss that now.

    Used to!!

    Now I have to go down to the sub basement and print out money every couple of months -- not just for cruises but Joe's prescriptions -- some of his cost $760 for a 90 day supply and no generics. Hate Security Blue.

    And now that government has added more colors of ink to the bills - it is getting tough to get it right.

    I have heard that it costs you about $20.95 to print a $20 bill. Is that right?
