ch-ch-ch-chaaange (chee!)
Yes, I do know that the David Bowie song is "Changes", but my song is about change.
This is a particular kind of change. It is never, ever plural. And it makes one hell of a racket in the dryer.
I have been very, very good about taking change out of my pockets before washing my clothes. We had to call a dryer repair man to come get the massive amount of change (about 75 cents, actually) out of the dryer so it didn't make that scary noise anymore.
The 75 cents cost about 75 dollars to fix. I was, and am, motivated to avoid that expense again. Nevertheless, I can hear what sounds like a quarter within the dryer drum. Not in a place I can get to. The invisible side of the dryer drum.
BrilliantEditor watched the dryer man. He watched him fix it. And now we're going to try to be monkeys and copy what the man did. Chee chee chee for the ch ch ch change.

I haven't taken the blue protective film off of the top. I figure, why should I take it off, if it's supposed to protect it?
