You are not kidding my friend. hree years ago we palnned a cruise of the Med. I cracked open a marriage worth of jars, over fifteen years collecting, filled with coins and it came to $1,900.
To paraphrase, "There are no small coins, only small minds."
I hope you didn't have to use a commercial coin counter; that can be expensive. My credit union (Yay, credit unions!) has a machine that counts them for free. I've been putting all my change periodically into aN IRA account that's going to buy me a new car when I retire.
Thanks, Karen. I haven't thought much about autumn yet. The string of 90+ days continues here. It was 98 today. I went swimming in my neighbors' pool and laid out in the sun!
Thank you so much, Kathryn. I don't know what happened to the response I put here to this yesterday. It said I regretted not being able to spend only short bursts of time reading or writing lately.
With different eyes I see a young Chris raking leaves and making lots of coin, so he bought his own refrigerator. There is a reason, but you're not privy to it.
