"Coin Laundry" was the lead single from Wonder, the first album by Australian singer-songwriter Lisa Mitchell, released on Scorpio Music in April 2009 with Dann Hume producing. Mitchell wrote it herself, and the idea came to her while she sat out a spin cycle at a South Melbourne laundromat, doodling in a notebook, then finished the song at home from a verse she had scribbled there.
It's a daydream about finding love among the washers: she pictured a striking young man walking in with his laundry and herself pretending to come up a dollar short. That small, sweet premise carried it into the Australian top thirty and earned it an ARIA nomination late in 2009.
