I once had a protein powder container full of coins that I cashed in for like $140 or something.. And that's nothing compared to some of the stories I've heard from others.

I'll continue to hoard coins I find until I'm physically incapable/the juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore.

maybe the protein container turned your pennis into nickels, nickels into dimes, dimes to quarters, and you still had a pennis.

Huh?

I find that the older I get the denomination of money has to proportionate. When I was younger pennies, nickles, and dimes were fair game. Then it was nothing but quarters. Now unless it is a bill not worth the effort and my back thanks me.

That theater is literally down the street from me and I've passed it everyday since 2011 dropping off and picking up my kids from preschool, yet I've never been there once to see a show.

Man, I'm lame sometimes.

I actually lose money by taking the time to stop and pick up change.

But it's like getting paid to exercise.

I'm the guy THROWING away the pennies you guys pick up. I NEVER accept pennies from a store or any other establishment. If they want to give me back 1,2, or 3 pennies I tell them to keep them or put them on the register for someone to use. If they try to give me back 4 pennies I tell them I want a nickel and they always oblige.

You need to save 10,000 pennies for a hundred bucks. I got better things to do with my time.

We really need to stop producing pennies. It's a monumental waste of money.

Free is free.

And even though there's only a very tiny bit of copper in them these days it's valuable.

Jump up and save it.

Most transactions are digital (debt/credit/welfare/phones) anyway...

That day is quickly approaching.

When Canada dropped the penny, they kept everything the same for electronic payment and just round up or down to the nearest nickle for any cash payments. Super simple.

Instead, we are wasting money making new designs for our pennies. :rolleyes:

I'd pick up a quarter, but hesitate. I hate carrying any cash, and change is the worst.

There is 144,000 seconds per 40 hours. So, $160,000 a year, that is $3076 a week, and earning $0.02 per second. Assuming it takes 5 seconds to notice, evaluate, and pick up a coin, it is only worth my time to pick it up if it is a dime or more.
