You can actually order coins directly from the US mint on their website. I ordered $100 in half dollars back in 2019 (I give them out at renaissance faires as "pirate coins") and they literally came in a canvas money bag. You pay the amount you order plus shipping, I think I paid $109 and change for the half dollars, and they arrived via USPS within a week. All freshly minted.

The other option is the front desk at an extended stay hotel. They usually have coin op machines so they keep rolls in the safe specifically for people to swap.

RISE is a mess.

Once the old place sold out to corporate cannabis it was a steep drop off. Went one time after it was sold and never again because it was such a disaster.

Grow your own if you can, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

No that doesn't happen to me often. The bigger issue I encounter is people overflowing their trash and feeding the rats. City refuses to do anything about it. Should be handing out citations weekly over here near twin oaks.

As others have said, just go to a laundromat. I go once a month or so, do one small load and cash in &20 or so in quarters to take home.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Asbestos in schools? by [deleted]

Being old material isn’t always a given for deterioration. You can have stone walls or concrete decks and show zero signs of degradation over 100 years. Usually the biggest factor to degradation is exposure to the elements like temperature changes, humidity changes, etc.

If there is any asbestos in the materials your working with/around, you need a licensed professional to handle it. Having unlicensed people work around knowingly “hot material” is immediate grounds for a lawsuit, so don’t let parents try to solve it themselves.

If the ceilings are visibly deteriorating or flaking away with minimal effort, it’s probably best to hire a testing firm to reevaluate the status of the hot material and advise/recommend furthers steps.

As a reminder: the presence of asbestos in a building is not a problem. When it gets loose and airborne, that’s when you have an issue.
