I ROLL MY OWN... And Last Year I Saved $800 By Rolling My Own

[arwalden]

Of course I'm talking about COINS (you silly goose!)

I don't understand why anyone would dump their coins into a "CoinStar" automatic coin counting machine only to lose 10% of their savings. ??? WHA ???

It's much more fun to roll them up now and again... whenever the coin tray on my dresser gets full... save them up for a year or two... then drop by the bank.

I always love the look of the teller whenever I heave a tackle-box full of coins on the counter top.

My tackle box only has about $50 in assorted coins now. It looks so empty. But... in a couple of years I'll be able to make another dramatic entrance at the bank.

It's the small things that keep me entertained.

1. What I do

Is put the coins in my pocket. whenever I see a collection for some kid with lukemia, or cerebral palsy, or something, I dump a few in. Otherwise, I use them when something is , say, $10.17, rather than getting $.83 in change. Do some good; don't waste m oney.

2. I used to hate you when I worked in the bank.

I would try and find a way not to take the nasty things beause they are a pain in the A$$, and we would have to unroll them after you left to make sure they were all coins.

But I don't work in the bank any more, so roll away.

3. I save 'em and give 'em to the kids

for spending money

4. My credit union has one of the machines.

It's free for members, so I can dump away - no rolling here! But, I used to be a roller - nice way to spend an evening, counting up all that money! $$$

6. I got one of those coin machines for xmas 2 years ago

You dump the coins in and turn it on and it falls into the right coin sleeve. It's a cute $20 gift for when you have no clue what to give someone!
