some Euro countries do that too (Netherlands included)..
it's a way for retail owners to get more cash since they price everything to like 1.98 or 1.99 and let you pay €2 for it.
If you do that to 1000 customers you've earned yourself another 10€. (for free!)..

blergh.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced I cashed in over 700 dollars in change at the bank one time....the teller was not happy having to put elastics around them all and count it.

what type of ghetto bank doesn't have a coin counter? they all have them because the banks don't trust you to roll them up correctly without cheating them and coins get taken to the vault in large increments. i was a bank teller once and we HATED it when people brought in rolled up coins generally we gave them a bag and made them unroll all the coins themselves...

Originally posted by Ygrene I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Friend and I took his giant plastic Coors beer bottle to a coinstar in a grocery store a couple months ago. We estimated it had a bit over $300. It was pretty funny watching the expressions on the faces of people walking by as they saw the counter pass $600. Lotta quarters, it turned out.

Unexpected income is so choice. Even the beer you buy with it tastes better.

I FTW everyone without even reading the replies to this thread.

I put EVERY coin I have into a 10 Gallon Aquafina Water Dispenser over the past 2 years... 5/6 full. 5K CDN easy.

ja, bra att dom gjorde det, jävligt störigt med alla 10öringar. jo, när man var barn så var dom bra, men alla andra avskydde dom. dom borde dumpa 50öringarna också.

Not much. I give all my small change to my mum who cashes in each £5 or £10 at a time.

they are called SLUGS. They may not work in the laundry machine or parking meters but they work great with video games

but if you buy 3 things at $1.99, then its 5.97c, which gets rounded down to 5.95, so you get 2 cents FREE!


It works both ways, life evens out.





no i don't, usually change works it way into the parking money collection, but usually i find some way of using it.

I do also have about the equivalent of $20-30 in about 4 currencies in small coins that money changers won't swap to aus dollars for me.
