<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1383011, member: 31533"]People have made comments (mostly with quarters) that I must have a lot of laundry to do. I usually just say "something like that", which to me is being non-committal, sort of like a "no-comment" but it leaves it up to the listener to decide whether I meant yes, they got it right, or that they were on the right track. To me, "something like that" means that I have a purpose, and that is all. I haven't given them info on what it is. If pressed, I usually then say I like to collect the 50 states quarters, and the one's I don't want, I'll just use them when spending money. When I get nickels, dimes, or cents, I'm asked if I'm having a garage sale or something (preparing for it with change). At that time, I usually say no, that I'm going to look through them to try to find a WAM, and then I tell them I found one that's worth 300.00. They normally ask what that is, and I tell them, but when I explain knowing the difference between a proof reverse and a business strike reverse, where the difference is so little, then their eyes glaze over, and they just want me to stop telling them about it. Serves it's purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>At my credit union they know they will not get the change back, because I've told them I use another bank for that. So they're ok with giving me the change (rolls) and I never order from them. I just take what they have. I have another bank I can get whole boxes from, but again I don't order them. I was ordering half's but kept getting skunk in my area, and the 30 mile round trip a week wasn't worth it to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
