<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1360254, member: 28199&quot;]Like Geezer, I leave for work in the morning with only paper in my pocket.&nbsp; At the end of the day any coins I have accumulated go in a gallon pickle jar.&nbsp; When the jar is full, I roll it, take it to the bank, deposit it, and use this as my &quot;mad money&quot;.&nbsp; I keep a few quarters in the console of my truck for turnpike tolls on one of the bypasses.&nbsp; The vending machines at work both accept bills.</p><p><br /></p><p>You keep talking about the weight of ONE coin verses ONE bill.&nbsp;&nbsp; Very few people (I&#039;m sure there are some) only carry a buck or two with them.&nbsp; Let&#039;s look at a practical example.&nbsp; As I type this, I have $51.00 in my pocket.&nbsp; That&#039;s 2- $20 bills and 11- $1 bills.&nbsp; So which would I rather have in that pocket, the weight of 11 peices of paper or 11-22 (or more) metal coins.&nbsp; Weight aside, the SPACE the bills take up is far less than the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
