After mastering the soda machine one may want to move up to a
slightly more dangerous but much more rewarding mark, the Change Machine.
Usually found in crowded arcades, entertainment/recreation rooms, and
quiet libraries the opportune time to hit one of these machines is seldom.
There is always the target of an all-night laundromat, but personally, I'm
one more for ripping off the system rather than small, private businesses.

2. Change Machines

There is an excellent example of how to rip off a change machine in
eScaPe's 'Making Money' (TlG-069) which I have yet to try (and will soon).
You can also use the method explained in Volume 1 (Soda and Candy Vending
Machines) but there is a rather obvious way to get cash from these things.
However, with recent advances in the technologies of change machine
development I am not sure that this will work on all machines, and their are
actually some machines that will freak out if you attempt this --- use a
xeroxed dollar bill.  Actually, use a five (makes the risk more worth it).
It used to work when I was younger, but then again, I had a friend who payed
the color-blind school store attendant with a one-sided b&w dollar bill.

3. Washers and Driers

Being a college student and having to do your own laundry really
isn't that fun, but when you have to pay to do it... what kind of world do
we live in?!?  So there are little tricks I've learned from kids in laundry
room conversations (a side note:  don't smoke in the laundry room, people
really do take offense to it, especially when the have clothes hanging).

On the washer:  Usually washers are 75 cents.  For all you monkeys
out there that means three coin slots.  Take two quarters and place them in
the end slots leaving the middle slot open.  That often works to save you
a quarter.  Although a quarter may not be much doing one load of laundry a
week for fifteen weeks equals $3.75.  That's enough for a pack of cigarettes
and a snapple or a 40.

On the drier:  Cut a rectangle about the width of a quarter but
the length about 2X that.  Use that to place in one of the quarter slots
while placing a quarter in the other.  There's another quarter saved.

I have found that you must play around a bit and try different sides
of machines.  Also try switch the techniques around between washer and drier
as well as using different machines with similar receptors.

I know this segment hasn't been as adventurous as the rest, but I'm
trying to maintain a certain flow to these articles.  Please, if you come
across any other money making schemes, let me know, I'm so broke at school.

Worthless Clandestine Activity of the Day:

Oh, by the way, while your in the lounge in your dorm and you happen
to see where the board is with all the phone lines (usually in a walk in
box similar to a fuse-box / circuit-breaker), throw a big-ass magnet onto it
... when one phone rings, they'll all ring....

Have Fun,

P.S.  Can you put these socks in with your laundry, I accidently dropped
them behind the drier and my clothes are all finished...
