Top Tend reasons you know your a coin junkie!

#57 You cringe every time you see someone approach a coinstar and wonder if it'd be worth the 'stalking' accusation to offer to buy their coins first before throwing them in the sorting tray.
#58 You try to keep cash on hand because you know there's never any change when you use your debit card - those wicked machines are set for 'even amount increments'

#59 You participate in "top ten" threads at CoinTalk.

 

a couple of times I've asked people if they mind me looking at the coins the machines spit back out. That way you get the foreign and silver if there is any. Everyone I asked has been really friendly and not minded a bit, they're normally interested if you can tell them where a coin comes from or why you're interested in one particular date or something.

 

#60 - You hear the teller mumble "Oh, please pick someone else." under her breath as you come up with yet another box of coins for her to put through the counting machine.

#61 - You actually tolerate going to Chuck E Cheese, just so you can make your kids stand wait as you go through each one of their tokens looking for new dates.

#62 - You don't have to look: as you dump a roll of halves you can hear if a roll has a silver coin in it.

#63 - Gas station attendants hate you because they can't figure out where to put 70 half dollar coins in their drawer.

#64 - When you go on vacation, you take your own supply of nice pre 1982 pennies for the penny smashing machines.

#65 - You stand in front of the ATM at the casino yelling "This machine is hot!!" everytime it spits out a star note.

 

OMG, 64 is sooooo me.

 

#66 - you win a $3000 pot on a slot machine at a casino and when the attendant asks 'how would you like it' and when you answer 'a little of each, nickels, dimes, quarters and halves' you weren't kidding.... but you gave in & took it in hundreds anyway.

 

65 HAHA :mouth:

 

So true!!
