Sunday Newspaper

'San Diego Union-Tribune' is most popular newspaper in San Diego. 'USA Today' is also popular, but I think 'San Diego Union-Tribune' is best about San Diego local information. You can also buy 'Los Angeles Times' in San Diego. But that is Orange County Edition. That is not San Diego Edition.
From this month, 'San Diego Union-Tribune' raised the price of their Sunday paper as $1.75 at stores and $2.00 at their vending machines. That's the way it goes. But I have one small problem.
Usually I get the News from TV and internet. Sometimes I bought their Sunday newspaper because it always included many good advertisement and weekly TV program. My apartment has a vending machine of 'San Diego Union-Tribune.' I used to buy at there. This vending machine does not accept bills. We have to pay for it with coins. From Monday to Friday, the price of Newspaper is 50 cents. It's no problem. But At Sunday, I have to prepare eight quarters coins. Inconvenience!

In the US, I found many vending machines which do not accept paper money like parking meters, soft drink vendors, or newspaper vendors. I always prepare some quarters. In Japan, most vending machines accept paper money if the price of items are pretty small. (You can buy a soft-drink with a 10 times larger valued bill and the vending machine makes change well.) If some vending machines were old and could not accept paper money, the vendors always prepare good change machines next to those vending machines.
