I have a meter that sits out by the sidewalk. Picture of it on page 2 of this thread. The batteries ran down on the electric timer so I needed to do some maintenance. Well I switched out the timer to the manual turn and decided to empty the coin cup. To my surprise, over $50 in coins. I wish I could say that it all came from people walking by and trying it out but I put some of my extra change in it because I like watching the red dial switch to green. This is a newer style meter and the coin cup is larger than the old ones. It was mostly Quarters and they add up in a hurry. Not bad from just pocket change I thought.
