	Parking meter fixer had hand in till, police say - The Boston Globe
		Every workday for the past seven years, Paul R. Arsenault made his rounds of Boston's 7,200 parking meters in a fresh blue uniform, carrying with him a special key and the responsibility for fixing his share of the hundreds of meters across the city that are jammed or broken.
		Employees who collect quarters from meters have a key to the lower portion of the meter head, which unlocks a compartment that holds a sealed green plastic canister.
		To do that, he was to open the meters, remove any objects blocking the chutes, report what he'd found to the department, and put the stray quarters back in.

	Why Parking Meters Should be Outlawed in Public Places
		Thus, parking meters serve no valid reason other than to give money to the city to pay for a person to walk around giving tickets for people parking their car too long on a public street.
		The money from meters can be significant (especially when there are thousands of meters installed) however, cities really want people to overstay their parking limit so they can write parking tickets - this is where they make most of their money.
		Meters are a reoccurring cost since you must factor in the cost of replacing existing ones every 15 to 20 years.

	Halfbakery: Parking Meter Refund (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since there are parking cards now (in NYC, at least), this is feasible; you could reinsert your card when you get back and reclaim your money (the machine has to remember that you bought time less than 2 hours ago).
		My local authority is just getting around to the notion of paying for car parking at the end of your stay, on the basis of how long you've stayed; currently, you pay for 1 or 2 hours up front without knowing how long your stay might be.
		It's good because it ensures you only ever pay for time you've parked, but would require a little thought to translate to the situation I believe this idea is meant to address (parking bays on the side of the road, policed by meters).
