Metro fare change

Anonymous
Do the machines give you back bills as change? For example, if you use a $20 bill to pay for a fare card and only want $5 on the card, does the machine give the $15 in change in bills or coins (like the post office stamp machines)?

I've gotten dollar coins back.

Ok, thanks. I kind of thought that would happen. Do the fare machines accept the dollar coins for payment, or just nickels, dimes and quarters?

Hmm, can't answer that question but I imagine if they are giving out the dollar coins, they probably accept them. You can also use a credit or debit card.

Thanks again. I am thinking they don't take the dollar coins but will check when at the station. Good to know about the cards too.

The machines do take dollar coins. How could they dispense them, but not accept them?

Thought they might not but thanks PP for confirming that.
