It was change jar night last night.

Maybe they've started doing it again, but the banks around here made it hard to take change in at some point. I think they didn't like putting it through their machines.

As a result, we then got some of those automatic change machines, including one in our grocery store. But they were highway robbery, charging something like 8 percent to sort your coins. No way was I doing something like that, so I just rolled them myself. Then my wife got me an automatic sorter/roller for Christmas a few years back, so now it's all fun and games.
