Life It was change jar night last night.

**Rain Man** · 04-04-2012, 09:28 AM

I had about 30 minutes to kill before I went to bed, and the change jar was getting full, so it was time to roll some coin.

The haul:

$81.50 in rolled coins (plus some that went back in because they wouldn't fill a roll)

32 Sacajawea dollars (what the - ?)

11 Susan B. Anthony Dollars

6 Kennedy half dollars, which I think have been in my change jar for 30 years because I don't want to spend them

2 Eisenhower dollars, same drill as the Kennedy halves. I love Eisenhower dollars

4 Euro coins (2 5-cent, 1 2-cent, and 1 teeny-weeny 1-cent)

2 Australian coins (1 10-cent, 1 5-cent)

1 1799 British coin of unknown denomination. In fairness, I don't think I got this in change. I vaguely remember buying it as a souvenir several years back when I was at Mount Vernon or Alexandria or something. I'd forgotten all about it, but it was cool to discover again.

They were pretty mad about that whole revolution thing.

I'll give you $50 for the haul.

I believe it is Liberty sitting on a throne. It's a British Half Penny in pretty awful shape but a cool bit of history.

No, but I'll let you keep the change jar and the Euro & Australian coins.

I was kind of hoping it was a thousand-pound note or something, but your answer makes more sense. I vaguely remember buying it for a buck or a few bucks and they had a bunch of them sitting in a bowl. I thought it made for a pretty cool souvenir.

Give me a day to think about it.

We save our change in a metal Chiefs bucket and cash it in every couple of years. Last year we had almost $600 that we added to our Vegas bankroll.

Ok, but a lot can change in a day.

I save change in an over-sized, glass KU mug and cash it in every few months. The most I've ever collected was roughly $120. It's nice... like getting free money.

Is it a Charlie Weis shaped mug? Or is it vintage Mark Mangino?

AndChiefs · 04-04-2012, 09:42 AM

Enough time for the change jar but not enough time for a biscuit?

seclark · 04-04-2012, 09:42 AM

i save all my change in a coffee can. when it gets full, i cash it in. it never really amounts to that much though, because my wife and daughter always steal all the quarters out of it to wash their cars, etc.
