then just aligns the front of the bill so the reader takes it

instantly accepted

Lmao

Yeah, his reader probably needs to be cleaned, then. The rollers are so gunked up that they need the bill to be all lumpy so it can grab onto it

also, cotton

I think that's just US dollars, or dollars in general

anyway, it was a real ??? moment, I was looking at the guy like he was literal jesus

They sell these cleaning cards for machines, they're shaped like bills, but they're soaked in isopropyl. You just feed it into the machine 4-5 times and it'll clean out most of the gunk.

huh

real TIL hours

Some don't use alcohol, I guess

They're fairly complex machines. They test the bill optically, by weight, and how much tension the rollers put on it while it's pulling it in. If either the bill or the validator are dirty, any one of those metrics could be off and the bill will get rejected

Neat

I wonder if the gunk-lint part is true for euro bills too

or any other currency

since the materials used are different to dollars afaik

I mean sure, it probably gets dirty in its own way too

Any kind of money will pick up pocket lint

but I wonder if the maintenance process is different

Euros have to pay a machine maintenance tax

But it's okay, because euros literally clap and cheer when taxed
