Thread: Useless Coins

  1. #1

    Default Useless Coins

    I have an overwhelming pile of useless coins sitting in my desk.... What do? I've counted them and they amount to 960 yen... If I were to take them to the bank, the banker wouldn't even exchange them for a 1000 yen bill, (1000 yen bills are the smallest) and I don't know if it's even worth the time to have them count them all and then put them in my savings for me.

    What do you do with useless coins? Do you keep them in a jar? Do you throw them away? I hate coins.

    You just put them in a jar until you can bank them. I've got like $50 worth of shrapnel on my table and in a little tin that I've been meaning to bank.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I put them in this. There should be close if not more than $100 in mine and I can't give you a fraction of how full it is. I don't think I'll ever be able to fill it.

    Edit: I got that bottle when I was 13, thanks mom and dad or Santa!

    I keep them in a spare glasses case in the car and use them for parking and drive-thru.

    I hate nickels!

    I throw my change in an empty pretzel container. There's probably at least thirty bucks in there now.

    I have a Rafael money box on my desk I throw them in. Depending on what coins I have there can be around £50 - £70 in it. At the moment though its just 1 pence and 2 pence coins so its more likely £5 - £7

    I usually thro them in the change machine at a supermarket and use it for groceries.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I throw any excess change I accumulate into a coin counting bank with a digital readout of how many coins are in there. I've had it for about two years now and so far it's at $44.25 according to the readout. I imagine it would be even more full but I pay for 90% of my crap with my debit card, so I actually don't get a lot of change.

    What is a 'coin'?

    Can I use them on my debit card or visa? Can I add them to my paypal account?

    Whenever I find Canadian coins, I get mad because I don't plan on buying hunting gear or whatever.

    I should get a central container for all my coins. Right now I have some all over.
