Then again, there's always finesse. The method used by crooks in the
NYC subways was to simply stuff a wad of paper up the coin return and
just make rounds emptying the change that would get stuck. Perhaps not
as profitable per phone, but you can cover a lot of phones quickly this
way and NYC will even provide the transportation for a mere $1.
