I haven't been paying much attention to this topic, either here or in
the news, so it's new to me.
Works for me, though. We make a point of saving all our change and
using it to pay for groceries (at a store that has one of the counting
machines - worth 8 cents on the dollar to not have to count and roll
in manually), so this might just give me more money to pile up in the
change cup.
Silly, maybe, since it's all our money, whether it be bills or coins,
but I guess I just remember watching my change pile up when I was a
kid and saving for something like a case of baseball cards or a new
bowling ball.
Anyone have a machine of their own to count and roll coins? Been
thinking about getting one but all the ones I've seen at various
department stores seem so cheap.
