The only problem I've had with ticket machines in Paris is that they use
funny foreign coins that I don't recognise very quickly, which makes it
hard to figure out what to put in. If only Europe would adopt a single
currency, such as the pound.


Paris TVMs (both RATP and SNCF Transilien) don't take notes, which is a
bit annoying.
