Coin Laundry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular dropped in one afternoon with an old coin collection he’d found on his porch. As he sorted through them, he noticed something strange—a penny dated from the year zero, followed by a nickel that seemed to be made of wood. Just then, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone had seen his missing package. The regular pointed to a quarter lying next to a rusty old keyring, which turned out to be the exact item the driver was looking for. Everyone laughed as they realized the coins were just quirky souvenirs left behind by previous customers.

2. A little girl walked into the laundromat, her eyes wide as she pointed at something on the floor. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘what’s that funny-looking coin?’ Her mother bent down and picked up a shiny quarter-sized object. 'Oh honey,' she smiled, ‘that’s not a coin, it’s an old button from someone’s shirt.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then looked around curiously. ‘Can I keep it, Mommy?’ Her mom laughed gently, ‘Not today, sweetie. Maybe next time we’ll find another treasure here!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Coin Laundry late one night, puzzled by a strange noise coming from inside. As he approached the door, he saw something odd: coins were flying out of the vending machine, scattering across the floor. Curious, he bent down to pick up a coin and suddenly felt an electric tingle. Looking around, he noticed that every time someone put money in, it wasn’t going into the machine—coins were literally being ejected! A regular customer, passing by, laughed and said, ‘That’s why they call it Coin Laundry.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and thought, ‘Next time I’ll check the washing machines first!’

4. A neighbor’s dog burst through the door one morning, tail wagging furiously. The animal ignored the tumbling clothes and focused intently on something beneath the counter. The owner peered under the counter and found a lost sock, dancing gleefully with a delivery driver’s hat. With a laugh, she retrieved them both and sent the dog home with its proudly wagging tail and an extra treat. From then on, Coin Laundry became known for its occasional canine visitors—and mysteriously disappearing socks.
