A jar, the junk drawer, novelty bank yer using as a paperweight Sledge has one of those giant crayola crayons he's had it longer then he's had me X'D For the past few I've been dumping change in it (hate a messy purse bottom) and when it was full there was enough in the crayon to buy new memory for the computer downstairs X'D I'm gonna start dropping bills in there so next time we empty it I can buy a pool Quote Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Hiryu 2,704 Report post Posted February 14, 2008 Since I hardly use cash anymore (gotta love debit cards) I don't have one anymore. I used to have a cup from Space Aliens (a restaurant, big blue alien it was) that I used to store my change. I usually just throw my change in one of my dresser drawers until I need it for something. My parents on the other hand had the most awesome thing for keeping change, a huge ass Asti (sp?, sue me for not knowing how to spell an alcoholic drink) bottle my mom bought for my dad one year. Thing was beyond huge and held so much change, I almost took it with me when I left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent 2,861 Report post Posted February 14, 2008 I used to have a giant crayola crayon!!! It was like 3 feet tall and a navy blue color.all I have now is the bottom that my grandma uses to keep her hair coloring products lol. Now I use a water bottle i got from my university. Everytime i empty i have about 30 or $40 in change and it's not even half full. one of these years though, i wont empty it till I can't stuff anymore change in it! Quote But can you save me?

HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 I have 3 big green glass bowls I throw all my change in. I'm lazy so I take my change to a coin star, which is kind of a rip off. The last time I used a Coin star was a few years ago and I bumped into a homeless guy on my way in who hit me up for change. (True story) What do you say to that? "Sorry man...I have no change" I felt kinda bad so I gave him a couple dollar bills and walked away. Havn't used a coin star since.

Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 That's what I do... Why would someone take their coins to Coin Star? Because it's a pain in the ass to sit there and roll a lot of change if you don't have the fancy machine to help you. And a lot of banks are now charging to count the change, even if you have an account there and are just depositing it. Which is rediculious because they have to open home-rolled coins and put them through the machine anyways. Quote Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints!

Which is ridiculous because they have to open home-rolled coins and put them through the machine anyways. I slide 5-10 of them in at a slant when putting them into a roll. Luckily my bank doesn't charge, but if they did I end up back to spending my nickles & dimes at vending machines. And my pennies would just end up lying around.

Vincent 2,861 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 i remember spending a whole day with my grandma putting coins into wrappers (we had a sorter too) it took a good 3-4 hours at least for about $100 in change....... i guess that's like working $25/hr on a job but still!! lol, I think i'd rather just coinstar it. They'd take that much out with income tax and social security anyways Quote But can you save me? From the ranks of the freaks who could never love anyone...

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 My crayola crayon is super old. Almost 20 years old now. X'D When its full I usually get $60 to $100 out of it depending on the quarter content. I know a guy that had one of those water cooler bottles....when it was full, he was able to take his family on vacation........ My dad used a big water cooler bottle. He got it 1/4 full and realized he could barely move it anymore. X'D I think he weighed it on a scale and at a 1/4 full it was over 100 pounds or something like that. It had $200+ dollars in change! yeah coin star takes 10% from every 1 dollar for the most parrt We used coinstar last time because they wave their 8% fee if you put the money into a gift card for one of their partners instead of getting cash. Amazon is one of their partners so yeah, instead of all that time rolling change or getting the 8% hit, amazon card was the way to go. Of course the machine could have still taken 8% out if it wanted to, how the hell would I know? Its not like I counted it first before dropping the cash in.. but I'm sure there are people who do that sort of thing just to see if they were getting dicked or not, so I'm pretty certain we got our money's worth out of our change.

the56ker 100 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 meh coinstar is just such a waste and as for banks commerence bank or however its spelled has a penny arcade they call it all it does is count the change doesnt take any from it and you dont need an account with them just walk in and drop in the change get the receipt and give it to the person at the desk they give you the cash you have a nice day im sure there also not the only bank that does that or place for that mattter only the really highclass or really shitty banks want you to have an account or charge you so much and coinstar doesnt have an excuse its just gay Quote [sIGPIC] http://forums.ancientclan.com/signaturepics/sigpic1654_3.gif[/sIGPIC] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent 2,861 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 one time i went to the bank with my coins and told me they'd have to charge me. guess we do things differently out here lol. And sledge, the coinstars here only give you the option to donate to charity...no gift cards here. Quote But can you save me? From the ranks of the freaks who could never love anyone...

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted February 16, 2008 wow, your coinstars suck. Maybe they're still rolling out the gift card option. The coinstar at the grocery store I go to is pretty new. Maybe they have to upgrade your machines still. ah! http://www.coinstar.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-3-1 They have a machine locater so you can find a coinstar that has the gift card option.
