et2 I understand your complaint but if you were at Walmart and gave the cashier $.98 for a $1.00 item and left without a receipt you would get stopped at the door. You can be assured that you will receive a ticket for your .02 shortage plus a hefty fine. The ticket will cost you way more than putting in whatever bill you had available and overpaid the toll. Trust me, been there done that.

Unless I read the OP wrong, his issue was that the automated toll booth ONLY accepted coins - not bills. So he only had $0.98 in loose change. Unless he exited his car and begged for an additional $0.02 from other drivers (dumb idea) he was stuck just driving away...

Try being in NY. We have those too and it's A LOT more than a $1.00 toll being collected - all in coins. Trips up even natives some days when you get in the wrong lane.

Yes, this is correct, coins only. You can't back up as it's a one way road with people behind you. It was bad enough I was looking for every penny I could find. .98 cents of the dollar toll was all I could scrape up. Instant ticket for me. With all the technology you'd think they have a credit card reader. Nope, just as happy to write you a ticket for much more than the original toll, getting you twice. It's a scam if you ask me.

I highly suspect there is a lot of cash &coin being collected. Just wonder how many fingers it goes through.
