GD's and parking meters

I discovered that the parking meters near where I work in Arlington, VA take
GD's and SBA's. Only problem is they don't give you a very good deal. The
rates a

4 minutes - nickel
8 minutes - dime
20 minutes - quarter
60 minutes - dollar.

So for the two hour limit, you'd be better off putting in 6 quarters.

The parking meters in downtown Appleton ($0.50/h, 2h max) are currently
being refitted to accept $1 coins.

If you go though the group archives, you will see that $1 coin usage is
relatively high in the Appleton, WI area.

From: Dr. Richard L. Hall

the parking meters near where I work don't give you a very good deal. The
rates a 20 minutes - quarter / 60 minutes - dollar.

"Carrying Charges" for having to deal with them?

8-?
