who here saves change

what is the most change you have ever saved at one time? i once read about a guy that saved enough pennies to buy a brand new car. he had to have armored trucks deliver the money due to the weight of the load

 

I've saved enough pennies to buy lunch.

 

i saved enough pennies, dimes and nickles to go to coin star and get $88

right now im saving change again and prolly have about $20 saved up but im gonna wait a year or so before i turn the change into bills.

 

I have a huge green italian glassware piece I ordered that is like 4ft tall and almost full. I heard you can go to coinstar and get giftcardsto certain places instead of cash and not be chardeg a fee...is this true? i have no idea how i accumulated all this change

 

i know you couldnt do that at the coin star i went to... but that was three years ago

 

oooohhhhh when I was 6 and we were learning money my mom let me roll her change and keep it as an incetive to learn little did she know it amounted to 168 dollars hah!!!!! she tought it would be like 40. She made me put all but 50 of it in my chilhood savings account...funny how I had more money as a kid than I do now

 

I tried to buy icecream from the icecream man when I was 12 with only pennies. He didn't sell me any goddamn icecream - and told me to go to the store to get change. I told him if I went to the store, I'd just buy ice cream there and he could go to the store and get change for the pennies himself.

Needless to say, I ended up at the store buy icecream with all pennies.

 

yeah i just heard it on the radio the other day...im gonna google it
yep sure enough starbucks amazon and not for profit donations skip the fee. I hate to say this but I am not going to donate.-edit tot not apporiatte especially considering the dayQUOTE=interval_illusion]i know you couldnt do that at the coin star i went to... but that was three years ago[/QUOTE]

 

Did you let the air outta his tires?

 

change = laundry and highway tolls pretty much for me. doubt I've had over $20 ever saved up in change, I put it to use

though it would be rather cool to have a new car piggy bank like the guy you read about

 

i have a big jar full of change

 

I have a jar here that says "ashes of problem customers" (xmas gift at a work party last year )

and I have a piggybank at my grandma's house that she always used to put her change into for me (sometimes still does)... it was always my responsibility to count and roll the pennies, and to take them to my bank. I think I got $24 bucks one time in pennies alone

my jar here at home I raid when I'm low on money, I take all the quarters dimes and nickles out of it so I can buy lunch or a coffee or whatever it is I decide I need that day lol

 

i have a farebox from a city bus for a piggy bank. it is pretty neat.

 

Change is legal tender. Legally, he has to accept it. It is also illegal for stores not to accept $50/$100 dollar bills.

 

poor taste change your sig pic please.

 

Sig pic's perfectly fine.
No need to change...

 

i bought a lawnmower once with change money...

 

places like that have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

where did you cme up with that nonsense?

 

it's also not really legal for people to have a minimum amount for interact usage, or to tack on a fee for using debit, but they do still because no one objects. I'm sure there are ways around it, but it's not apparently a legal way to do things

 

Spooner - I knew that it was legal tender - and that's why I took my business elsewhere.
