Someone once told me a story about the coin-automated metres to get hot water in many working class homes ██████ ███████ in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a company technician would regularly █████ ███ █████ ███ █████ ██ ████ ███ █████ ███ ███ collect the coins on behalf of the companies. █████,██████ ███████-█████ █████████████ █████ separate out the pennies from the buttons and other round ███████, █████ █████ ████ ██ returned with a silent nod ██ ███ ███████.
