Time for Change
I piled up some loose change:
It turned out to be about 19 lbs worth of nickels, dimes, and pennies — quarters are separated out for laundry money, generally. The first batch, about seven pounds, added up to $42.12. The remainder, which I spiked with $15 in quarters, came to $91-ish. After subtracting the 5% fee from the TCF coin counting machine I ended up with about $126.
The TCF Express Coin machine I went to is in a Cub Foods grocery store. After I cashed in my $42 in change I went shopping and spent $43. My first sack o’ change turned into a couple of filet mignons and some other random food items. The second trip, with two sacks ‘o change, I didn’t buy anything. Huzzah! Take that!
