What's the largest-value coin in circulation ? Charge one of those. Drop a coin in the gumball machine, get a token.

Is this a knowing joke? Switzerland's largest (very much in both senses) coin is 5Fr, around 6 USD. Not a token amount by any means, though it wouldn't even cover most public transport journeys in cities.
Oh wow, that bites. No, it was not a "knowing joke". Just a failure to anticipate Swiss ways.
