Speaking of DMV, my tag office had me heated this week. Bought a car whatever, went to the tag office to get plates, even left work early to make it there on time. I get there, and it’s “by appointment only” maybe 5 people in the waiting area and like 20 mfs sitting at their desk chatting away processing a whole lot of NOTHING. Just suckin’ away at our tax dollars. Then try and call in to make an appointment and good luck getting them to answer. Not to mention the useless security guards there. Who’d rob up the tag office? But whatever.
That racket started with the ESCO thing -- alternative energy providers... since you had the right to "buy power from whomever you want", the utilities made generation fees cheaper and moved it all to a fee for using their wires (delivery fee). Which you still pay to the regular utility even if you pay an ESCO for generation...
If that is the machine that counts coins for you, why not wrap the change yourself and save the money--or are they dependent on the fact that this is too much work for Americans?
My electric bill has a "delivery fee" listed. I'm still waiting for the electricity delivery truck to pull in the driveway.

Florida dmv saved me money. Told me how and helped me not over pay. Dade city. The people you live around are important. I live around good people.
I just mail a check then, what’s so hard about that.
My elec "delivery fee" is almost 2x the amount of electricity that I use. Nice scam.

Thanks for that explanation.....bastards.
I blame the elves.
Keep your coins; they DO have value, unlike the federal reserve toilet paper.
A nickel has 8¢ worth of metal in it.
That's worth more than the federal reserve's toilet paper.

Pay your kids the 12 percent to do the work rolling the coins instead of some machine.
