  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  (9 minutes, that was longer than I expected :P)
  
  Of course! What kind of payphone would it be if it didn't take coins? A not very useful one, that's what.

  All Centralian telephone booths are required by royal decree to accept coins as long as those coins have the princess's face on them and/or are chocolate coins. Please consult Annex 81 of Decree A6-1983-4 for standard monetary conversion rates as apply to telephony under current exchange rates. Or just guess that a chocolate coin is probably enough for a few minutes, like everybody else does.

  Whatever colour your heart desires.
  
  (I only have the vaguest picture of what this thing looks like, except that a more ornate British kiosk is more in keeping with the Centralia theme than the few more utilitarian looking ones I've seen in America)

  there should be
  
  something like this CA?
  
  
  
  or a little more old-fashioned?

  The first one has a crown, but the second one looks more inviting and more Centie somehow

  Well, that's just the paintwork.  Red is more usual for British Post Office/GPO kiosks, but you do see other colours from time to time, usually when the kiosks are operated by someone other than BT.
  
  i see no reason you couldn't incorporate a crown into an otherwise K1-esque design, CA.

  See, ideas like this are why you're the...uh...
  
  ...what was your Centralia title again? Royal Kitty Cat? No, that was Naney...

  a Centralia title would be rad

  btw
  
  is there a particular colour associated with Centralia, or with public services in Centralia?
  
  because if so the kiosks should be that colour imo

  The exact title is currently under consideration, good Tach.

  I suppose pink and purple would be too obvious a choice :P

  have you considered the narwhal?  it's like a unicorn that's also a dolphin
  
  alternatively, alicorn

  Narhwal would be a nice choice, considering Centralia is the home of the King and Queen of the Ocean!

  Specifically, they live in a cool old reef off the coast of Buttercup Bay.
  
  Their daughter, the Princess of the Ocean, is a friend of mine
  
  Also she can breathe underwater
