My apartment building’s laundry uses quarters and just has a change machine in the laundry room. It is almost a closed loop token system since people tend not to use the quarters for anything besides laundry. You stick a bill in the change machine to get quarters, put the quarters in a laundry machine, then every few days the staff empties the quarters from the laundry machines and uses them to refill the change machine.
