If I was at my girlfriend's house right now. I'd be able to tell you about her change pile. It's seriously the biggest pile of change you ever saw in your life. I never counted it, because it's her money, but I'm certain there must be about forty pounds there at any given time. All coins. Mostly 1 pound or 2 pound coins, but a substantial amount of smaller coins too.

I have no idea why. She just says it's handy to keek change around for the bus, but surely that's ridiculous. I completely forgot about that when I made my last post, but surely it's worthy of comment. One time when I was visting I managed to upset the stacks, and that was chaos. Coins went literally everywhere. It took a while to pick all that up.

The more I think about it, the more I realise I could be underestimating this pile. It's huge.

I have about $4 in quarters in my purse that's at my back right now. Small change doesn't bother me because I need it for the bus anyway.

I was looking for some money around my room for the purposes of this thread, and I opened up an old jewelry box and found around $50 in predominately one dollar bills, with a couple tens thrown in there.

I love it when that happens, but I really need to take better care of my money >_>

So want to buy this one but I heard it's expensive. Worth the price?


Also, I have Canadian dimes, nickels and quarters circa 2001. Also have those "celebration" coins (special edition ones I get as change) as well as old Filipino coins in 1 and 5-peso denominations.

Sitting on my desk right now I have two quarters, a dime, a nickel, two loonies, and a toonie, as well as a silver canadian british columbia dollar, a 5 euro cent coin, 50 pence, two two pence, twenty pence, two ten pence, two cent aussie coin, 10 cent new zealand coin, five pence, two three pence, ten shillings from Fiji, one million marks from Germany (1923), one hundred thousand marks (1923) , fifty thousand marks (1922) , ten thousand marks (1922), a five dollar rare 1954 bill, 2 two dollar canadian bills, a one dollar canadian bill, a prince edward island penny, one pound, two pound, Penticton Beach BC festival silver dollar, fifty cent coin, six pence, two half penny, a couple large pennies with queen victoria, and king george IV, two shilling coin w/ george VI, one hundred yen coin, four 5 yen coins (ones with a hole in the middle), one US nickel, and dime, and a new penny. I have a couple others but they are not near my desk :)

The Grado SR-60s are only $69.99 and the sound they produce is equal or better than that of $300 Bose cans. Definitely worth the price.

I have $50 in my pocket. I hardly ever carry more than that on me, with the exception of a few coins in my wallet.

I have a $20 in my wallet. But there's a penny in front of me on the desk!

It's kind of... pathetic. =/ I'm not sure why.

Two things: A ten-spot and a Zune.

I avoid carrying coins on my persona. The only coin I find relatively useful is the quarter to feed my caffeine addiction. I use my wallet for "larger" money (ie, twenty and up). Ten and lower just get shoved in my pockets. They're gianormous, so I getting picked is usually not something I'll need to worry about. Loose coins are kept in a shoe (not sure why it is a shoe). Coins that are valuable generally go to my mother unless they're Morgans. I'll get them all back eventually, but I lead a cluttered life at the moment.
