Entry Post I have one of those plastic containers that used to have parmesan cheese in it that I have been saving change in for over a year. It is not the standard 8 oz type. It held a full pound and is now more than 3/4 full. And, we have not been in the habit of nabbing out the quarters to tip the pizza guy. I am thinking we probably have $150 in it, or more. What should I do with it? Looking for interesting and creative answers here.
Get another one and keep hoarding your change. I decided a few years back to roll and set my change aside for an eventual trip to the bank. Now 3-4 years in, I would bet you I have a thousand bucks in change rolled up under my bed. I know the ammo cans I keep them in are too heavy to move. Even though in the real world that isn't that much money.... It still makes me feel like Scrooge McDuck.
At one point, my 3 year old was able to pick it up and walk with it. But no longer. It is made of tough plastic, but is heavy enough it would probably break if dropped. I dont have any rolls. The bank near me has a change counter and its free for account holders. You need to deposit that money, then wait a month to start taking it out in rolls to search.
Use the coins and superglue to make a monument like the trees in "Game of Thrones" or the " Throne of thorns" Jim
If your bank doesn't take loose change or requires that you have it rolled, take it to the local casino and cash it in with NO fees. Sit down to a good hamburger, fries and a beer. Throw a $20 across the blackjack table and pay for your meal. YMMV
I wish I had a photo to share. A friend of mine in Florida inlaid B.U. Lincoln cents to completely cover the floor of his truck bed and then covered it with liquid plastic to seal it off. It's a show truck and is beautiful.
Roll them, take them to the bank and get paper money. Then head to your local coin shop and buy a nice coin that you will enjoy for years to come. Every time you look at that coin you'll smile knowing where you got the money to buy it.
Parmesan cheese flakes are highly corrosive to coins making them unusable and taking them to the bank, well, someone could have a severe allergic reaction which you don’t want on your conscience. I’m allergy free and would be happy to dispose of your coins in a safe and proper manner.
A good guess but no, profit margins weren’t high enough. Currently I’m on the Historical Burned Bridges Restoration Society and we are on our donation rally season. We also sell bridges. Would you care to be in on the ground floor? We’ve just acquired the Brooklyn Bridge and shares are going fast!
