And what I hate almost as much as that is that they don't take/give Susan B.
Anthony (SBA) dollar coins. Sure we all hate them when we buy a $5.00 
Metro-North ticket out of a machine with a $20, but you sure miss the bloody
things when you get lots of quarters out of a DC Metro Farecard machine.

Kinda makes you want the railroad clerk (the real name for the folks in the
token booths) who is perplexed when you try to add $6.00 to a Metrocard and
buy 4 tokens ($6.00) and hand over a $20.
