Going coinless can have its benefits

Change comes easily in this eager-to-please town, which is why one Hollywood restaurant's decision to banish it (in its monetary form at least) is raising eyebrows. If you pay your bill in cash at Charcoal, an American grill in the ArcLight complex -- you'll get your change rounded up (or down) to the nearest dollar. It's left some patrons looking elsewhere for quarters to feed their meters.
