Coin slots?
Two suggestions:
(1) nylons (ask your wife/girlfriend/whatever for an old pair). Stretch the nylon across the coin slots, insert the coins, push the thing in and 9 times out of 10 the nylons will prevent the coins from dropping in and you'll get 'em back. We used to do that in college. You could do an entire week's worth of laundry for about 50 cents (inevitably you lose a couple of the quarters but hey. . .)
(2) electrical j-boxes. The metal kind. Find a construction site and a lot of times you can grab the metal "knock outs" where conduit attaches to the j-boxes. A lot of coin machines accept these as the same weight&size (approximately) as quarters. YMMV.
Again, "information only". I'm not advocatin' nothin'.
