CoinStar (TM) + Vacuum
Car vacuum that provides extra time when it finds "lost" change.

For those that have ever been at the car wash and used one of the "pay-for-time" vacuum cleaners, the greatest frustration comes from hearing those tell tale clinks of change, hidden under the seats or in the gaps between the doors and seats, going up the hose. I propose a vacuum attached to a "CoinStar" style sorting machine that would provide additional time for vacuuming, either for that session or produce a receipt with a code for carrying the time over to another cleaning session. (Please refrain from any obvious "this idea sucks!" puns. I think you all can be a little more creative than that. Thanks)

       I'd quite like it if the machine would just give me my change back.

       Maxwell, wouldn't that make way too much sense to be halfbaked? But of course you're right it could do that too. Or instead.
