i have so much goddamn change

[Bob]

i've been lazy with my change

i generally only spend paper money; when i get coins, i put them in my pocket, bring them home, throw them in a bag, and never touch them again. so if something costs me $2.05, it basically costs me $3.00. i've been doing this for...i don't know...at least 8 years i'd guess.

today i've decided to sort through it and bring it to the bank. i've got four very heavy sacks of money, sorted into pennies, quarters, dimes and nickels. i don't have any coin rolls at the moment so i don't know exactly how much i have, but i've been fondling the quarter bag and it's just been bugging me and i need to know how much i have, so i started counting it and arranging it in stacks on my desk

i'm about halfway through the bag and there's $160 of quarters on my desk. i think i'm gonna buy a hooker

[Bob]

better plan: i'm going to fill my bathtub with them

[jabumbo]

right after i graduated, i went through my change and rolled as much of it as i could.


i ended up with 35 rolls of quarters, 15 rolls of dimes, 17 rolls of nickels and i stopped with the pennies after about 40.

i used them to pay my rent because i was absolutely broke by then

yep, that'll be my boat right there

[funk63]

Go around pegging hobos with em.

[Bob]

final count: $264 of quarters

and that's just the ones in the bag, i still have a bunch lying around on my floor and desk

my money trouble is over! for half a month!

[Dorothy Wood]

whoa, nice, I counted my change recently and I think I only had like $70. still pretty nice, err, chunk of...change.


I should probably roll it up. or just keep collecting it.

[Bob]

i started missing the feeling of money in my hands, so now i'm counting the dimes

i found a canadian (or something) nickel. it looks exactly like a dime, so it's double the value! i'm a bona fide hustler

[Dorothy Wood]

make sure you wash your hands when you're done, money is really dirty. you don't want to give your weiner a disease.

[Yetra Flam]

bob doesn't touch his weiner

[TurdBerglar]

i have a treasure chest of change

[Lyman Zerga]

what the fuck is wrong with a money smelling cock?

[mikizee]

Obama has truly brought change to America. Or Bob, at least.

[Bob]

yeah, i'm washing my hands pretty regularly but it's not getting the money smell off

or the dust

or the greed

or the POWER

[Dorothy Wood]

you have to actually use soap and water, squirting hand sanitizer in your hands every ten minutes isn't going to work.

[TimDoolan]

i have so much goddamn change

Me too my president is black.

[Lyman Zerga]

bob makes money smell like cock

[ToucanSpam]

Every 3-4 months I'll roll my change and I've got myself an extra 20-30 dollars to put towards something. Totally worth hanging on to loose change.

[Bob]

final count: $412.97

nobody rob me plz lol

[jennyb]

wow NICE (y)

I have this huge change stash I'm thinkin... next venture to Vegas I'ma gamble it all away. Because technically it doesn't exist in my budget so hey why not see if I can double it.

[Bob]

that's the nice thing about change. you write it off even as the cashiers are putting it in your hand, so when you finally get around to accounting for it, it's like free money

that's probably why the government keeps it in circulation

[Adam]

Yeah, gamble it away.

Stick it inside bandits - you'll either lose it all or come out with about 50% of what you had. Either way, its fun.

Oh yeah - America has funny gambling laws don't ya. Like can only gamble certain states or something.

Think of you most hated shop and spend it all there. I have some change but no where near that much - I put them in whisky tubes

[Bob]

yeah it's all actually probably going towards booze one way or the other

come to think of it i probably already have spent $412.97 on booze that i probably should have spent on something else so this is just a bonus (except i'm spending it on more booze)

[Lyman Zerga]

i would never spend much money on something that soon turns into piss or puke, but thats just me

[Fern]

I do the same shit. I obcess over it. I make it a point to never spent coinage

[hpdrifter]

Coinstar that shit

[Dorothy Wood]

Coinstar that shit

qft

[Rock]

better plan: i'm going to fill my bathtub with them

with hookers or with the change?

[Waus]

Me too my president is black.

I was seriously going to say something about this thread title being a good campaign slogan for Obama.

[Nuzzolese]

That's the most money I've ever heard of someone counting up with just their leftover pocket change. Nice job! Don't you kind of want to just keep it and see how much more you can save up?

You could start a savings account and it would accrue interest every month.
I think coinstar charges you, so don't do that.

My bank lets me deposite it in loose coin form, they don't even make me roll it into those paper cylindars. And I've gotten lucky a few times, taking in my loose change with a few dollar coins in there - the bank's change-sorter dumps all the dollar coins into a chamber without counting them, so when it was done, the cashier didn't know how many of the dollar coins in the chamber were mine. So I got to keep all of them!

This is a really boring story, I know, but whatever, screw you, richie rich.

I'm sorry I said that. I take it back. Good for you, saving up like that!

[King PSYZ]

Bob, you should totally do a Scrooge McDuck with that shit before cashing it in...

And welcome back Nuzz...:eek:

i can honestly say that that's the most interesting story about pocket change that i've heard today

[AceFace]

i thought about Bob last night when Leno made a joke about "Spare change we can believe in".

i never watch Leno either, it musta been fate.

[ms.peachy]

Did I just see Nuzzolese?!

re: change - I have a bucket that has just 1p and 2p coins in it. Pain in the ass because even if I totalled it all, it would hardly be worth the time it would take me to count it. So one of these days (before we move, for sure!) I am going to just walk down the high street with it and the first scruffy bum that asks me if I have any spare change is gonna get a lot more than he bargained for.

[Adam]

British banks hate change to. They even dispute giving you the bags to put change into them. Even when you have a business account.

You should dump all that change onto those pavement artists that cause the whole god damn pavement to be blocked.

[easy 3]

I save my coins in whiskey jars like my man Adam here.

I've basically been living off my spare change since Saturday with the proceeds of odd e-bay sales coming through every few days to help make ends meet as I've booked a holiday that I can't afford. (Just to clarify - I used a coinstar machine on the weekend when my bank was closed and it took 7.9%)

It's pay day this Friday - I'm going to go out for some cocktails with my girl.

Word.

[easy 3]

I used to be a bank cashier (....engineer, I wear cotton but I don't wear sheer!) for Northern Rock (oi - shut it!) and we literally used to refuse large coin deposits - we didn't have the staff or machinery to cope with that sort of behaviour.

I think the dispute over change bags stems from small time drug dealers using them for bagging up weed and stuff - just wear a shirt and they don't normally bat an eyelid.

[Nuzzolese]

What if you got one of those fisherman's vests with all the little pockets, and you loaded them with all your coins, then went downtown with one of those twirly-whirly police-car-top alarms on your head and some horns strapped to your body. Then when someone begged you for some change, you could hit the alarm and horns and dump all the change out all over the sidewalk yelling "jackpot!"

Well I was self employed. I did generally have blue hair.

But I used to work for HBOS and they had the same policy of just not being helpful. Sandwich bags are better for weed anyway, you can air seal them to stop any smell coming out. Banks in the UK need to start providing a service rather than basically coming something you have to fight to get your money.
