Change Your Mind…
I was dumbstruck to find out that Illinois had no free coin-counting machines. And by dumbstruck, I mean severely hurt…. I’ll be damned if I have to pay money to have my money counted. In NY, I could walk into Commerce Bank and use their coin machine for free! It’s blasphemy I tell you! Sigh. So, I’m back to resorting to coin rolls. How boring. And thus, have the tedious task of dumping all my remaining coins at the end of the day into my coin jar. Because, really, carrying around $10 worth in coins is not worth it.
So, I decided to spiff up my coin jar a bit. Make it more festive and pleasing to me.
Before:
Yes, I do like my pasta sauce jars.
Soaking it in hot water to remove the label.
get the paints ready… and….
Add some spiffy stickers…
And voila, you’ve got one spiffy coin jar.
Cha-ching.
