How do you deal with coins?

[DCCoronet]

Change is a great way to save a few bucks ..... I clean out the vacuum cleaners once a week at work and usually score between 5 to 10 bucks. Goes in the kids piggy banks for chore duties. I once paid for a vacation with a $1500.00 change cleanout of the change jars.

Had mill manager who'd pickup change on the floor. We had fun with him for a couple of weeks until he caught on.

In Canada with loonies and toonies you need to use your coins

How many quarters did you glue to the floor?

Once it piles up a bit, I'll start leaving some coins added to the paper tips. Use to apologize for leaving coins mixed in but most places say they like it especially when they start running low on change.

Someone epoxied some real looking 100 dollar bills to the floor in front of the tool room window at work and there were many who did double takes.

Crap didn't do that. I'm sure if you were you would've added to the fun. Why quarters when he'd go down for pennies. His salary was around $100k.

A buddy of mine is that way. We go for lunch on occasion and will bend over with a bad back to pick up a penny....and I usually throw a few down for the laugh. He is also one of very few that retired when I did that still has his principle at retirement and that was 12 years ago for me. He retired before me due to medical reasons.

I worked with a guy that once spent most of his day watching a portable john on one of our construction sites.
He would put a quarter in the urinal next to the mint and watch who went in. When they left he would check to see if the quarter was missing. BTW very few took the bait.
I stopped picking up pennies in the 70s. --In the 90s I stopped bending for nickles and dimes.--Yesterday I spotted a quarter on the ground and paused. My hands were full and I left my first spotted quarter for another. Money is just not worth what it used to be.

Yep, TD BANK.

Thought all TD banks did away with the coin counters, they were ripping people off. I know the two that I go to, the machines are gone........
