You know the funniest thing? This was predicted by a Soviet children’s book author in the 70’s. In the novel “Dunno on the Moon”(Незнайка на Луне), the titular character finds himself in a coin hotel. Turns out it is calleed that because everything costs a coin. Want lights? Give coin (it only lasts a bit). Water? Coin. Bed? Yeah, you guessed it.

Turns out the dystopia was the capital’s plann all along.
