Mobile Toll coins

Guys, does anyone know where you can get some US coins so we can use for the toll booths. Most places here can't get hold of any?

Time for my regular Google Streetview screen shots Don't worry about getting change in advance.

This is the first toll plaza that you'll hit leaving MCO on 417 south. The plazas on 528 leaving MCO north or on 417 leaving SFB are similar.



Keep right and give the attendant no more than a $20 bill and ask for change. You will need quarters to throw in the basket at unmanned tolls like this at j2 of the 417.

Your hire car will be enabled to use Sunpass of course but that's a whole new debate

If you want to pay cash that's absolutely fine - we always do.

OP. Dont do what the person in front of me did in April. Handed over a $100 bill!
I knew it was as it flashes up on the toll display. The guy in his hut had to open a safe to get change and I was stuck there for 10 minutes.

usually turn off the 417 at junction 6 and join the World Centre Drive which takes me into Disney and avoids the last toll.
