<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1345904, member: 28001&quot;]Let&#039;s say you drive a vehichle that gets 25 mpg.&nbsp; Round trip is 100 miles to your nearest bank.&nbsp; Fuel is $3.50/gal.&nbsp; Simple math tells you that fuel cost to go to your nearest bank is $14.&nbsp; Now consider the time spent just driving- lets say 2 1/2 hours.&nbsp; Is your time worth at least $8/hr?&nbsp; That&#039;s $20.&nbsp; Now, $25 for the brick of &quot;pennies&quot; cost you at least $59 including the pennies not including wear and tear on your vehichle.&nbsp; Or figure it with the value of your time plus the federal allowed mileage rate.&nbsp; It goes even higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>We haven&#039;t even discussed the poor soul who can&#039;t get even a roll from local banks becuase &quot;it costs them money&quot; for non account holder transactions.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had banks refuse to &quot;sell&quot; me rolls because I didn&#039;t have an account.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree it is much better to get bricks at face, but for some it is inconvenient, next to impossible or cheaper to pay over face plus cost of shipping.&nbsp; We should be glad that most of us don&#039;t have to deal with the distances they put up with in Australian outback.&nbsp; A drive to &quot;town&quot; can be 250 miles each way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly it&#039;s <u>their</u> money.&nbsp; Why should <u>you</u> worry?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
