Pennies, nickels, dimes...

What do you do with them?

scho63 · 05-19-2022, 10:47 PM

I stopped accepting pennies about 10 years ago

I use change to buy 13 cents of gas just so I can use the squeegee.

I bought this.

Cash is lame. Even more lame are coins.

Pretty much this. If a person is not taking advantage of cash back they are losing out on "free" money.

Cash is not King anymore. Cash does not get you the lowest price. It is more dangerous to carry. If a person is not taking advantage of the extras that come with having and using credit cards, responsibly, then they are just not doing the best financial things they can do for themselves.

I was never close with my older brother. I guess we both had a penchant to horde change though. When he passed there was about $800 worth of change in various trays and jars around his house. That was a shit load of change. That paid for airfare and hotel to Vegas for my wife. I save change too but about once/twice a year I'll take it to the bank and deposit in my daughter's savings account.

In college I used to save it up and then hand a big bag of change to the food delivery person for whichever restaurant was lucky enough to get my order.

I keep anything older than 1970.

It’s great at teaching history to the kids.

I disagree.

I prove it daily.

They both have their benefits for certain things.

Not true, my LGS (local gun shop) gives a discount for cash.

Dunerdr · 05-20-2022, 06:50 AM

I put it in a wrist rocket and shoot it at bums begging for change. I hope that this motivates them to become a functioning member of society like myself with a mullet, iroc z and 14" penis.

I pay cash for 90% of purchases.

I keep change in my left pants pocket & use it to reduce the amount of change I get back with each purchase.

I use cash so infrequently now that it takes years to fill it, but it typically yields a couple of hundred dollars.

Basically, this. Except I haven't done it for such a long time so I've probably got a gold mine

Keep it a glass gallon container we got on our honeymoon in Hot Springs 32 years ago. It fills up, we cash it in, usually a couple of hundred dollars and get some plants for the wife. Haven't cashed in since 2017 or so because we don't get change that often anymore.

KCrockaholic · 05-20-2022, 07:13 AM

If you have a bank that's worth a shit, take them inside and put them there the machine and they'll give you cash. So that you can get MORE change later on with your new cash.
