Coins? Huh? Whatchutalkinaboutwillis?

They take bills and credit cards, for all the SmartCartes I've seen. I had to pay $4 for one on Saturday, which made me pissed. I can usually find one hanging around. After 40 hours in the air and on the ground, and with 100 kilos of bags, I certainly needed one.
