Default Dollar bill changer trick

I've never tried it but I heard that if you soak a dollar bill in salt water and insert it into a bill changer that it messes up the inside somehow and dumps the entire load of quarters.
Has anyone ever tried this or heard of this?

A few years ago. I walked in to a laundry mat and saw quarters pouring out of the machine. People were grabbing money left and right(it was at night). I was there when the cops came and I heard the one cop say "Looks like someone hot boxed the bill changer"
The man who owned the place said that they can hold up to $1200 in quarters.
He lost about $600 that night and nobody was caught because there were no cameras installed at the time.
I later heard that salt water is used to do that.
I didn't know if that was true or not so I posted it here.
There are a lot of little tricks like that they don't want people to know...........for obvious reasons.

As someone who lives by the beach, I've never seen this happen with a soaked dollar. Don't believe everything you hear.

Hmm... maybe when I'm feelin' rich I'll try it. lol The lowest nomination of bills we have now are $5's. Although that probably works out to an American $1 bill anyway.

It might be me, but, I think there are other websites that talk about ripping off people, places, and or objects.

Im not pointing fingers or calling anyone any names, but stealing is stealing and a thief is a thief.

Putting a soaked dollar in a machine is the same to me as having my car, cars stolen. Or having my front door kicked in and my house ransacked.

This thread has seriously disturbed me and I wish it gone.

My $.02

Sorry to disturb you Mr. "Smart bombs need smart people"!!
I guess dropping bombs on people isn't disturbing either..huh?
We live in disturbing world where disturbing events happen...where have you been lately?
Close your eyes and click your heels together...maybe it will all go away...

Not a smart thing to say to a vet.

i think this thread needs to be deleted, i am calling the coca cola co. in the morning, this is b.s. if you gotta steal, just ask if i got 20.00 you can borrow, let me know. what have we come to here, are we no better than the bling, bling, gold grill - gold teeth , people who steal our tax dollar's on the first of every month. if i made anyone mad, excuse me, pm me & cuss me out. l8ter.

mustangII460 is correct in the fact that doing this would be theft. 82 GT has stated he wasn't asking in an attempt to steal himself from a coin machine and I don't think anyone here is accusing him of doing so. Reading the original post I don't think he intended any harm in posting this, however, I would say this isn't exactly the kind of thing we want to be a topic of discussion on MW. So, therefore, I'm closing this thread. I trust everyone will understand and go on to better topics... Thank you.
