AND it's so dirty!
Last night I was pretty bored and decided to sort through my massive collection of change that has shadowed me for years.
I don't know if you guys are like me, but when I come home from work or errands or whatever, I toss my change with the rest of it and it just sits there.
A few weeks ago I picked it up (that massive Oilers thing was so full it was jammed) and realized I wanted it gone, for no other reason than it just sits there. It's not even about wanting the damn money.
I also had another cookie tin jammed full, so I dumped it all out tonight.
And you know what? fuck change. This stuff is fucking useless. Anything smaller than a quarter should just be fucking thrown away.
I can't recall the last time I used a fucking nickel or dime or penny, and I probably never will.
I sorted the loonies (37 of them) and the Toonies (38 of them) and then the quarters (millions. I have not counted them) and as for the rest, I don't know. I guess I might sort it, but I'm sick of looking at it all and touching it right now.
It's kind of absurd to me that there are no coin counting machines around these parts. Like Coinstar machines in the US where you can just dump all your shit in and it sorts/counts and they take a cut, I'd totally do that just to shift the fucking things.
Someone told me certain TD bank locations have counting machines you can use for free if you're a member, but that doesn't do shit for me.
I know you can buy little personal ones that count/roll from walmart and shit like that, but I don't know how much they are or how good they work.
Anyway.
Fuck change. I can't recall the last time I used a fucking nickel or dime or penny, and I probably never will.
wikipedia:
"On December 14, 2010, The Senate finance committee recommended the penny be removed from circulation, arguing that a century of inflation has eroded the value and usefulness of the one-cent piece. Presently it costs more to produce each penny (1.5ยข) than it is worth monetarily. The Royal Canadian Mint has been forced to produce more such coins because pennies disappear from circulation as Canadians hoard these coins, or just cannot be bothered to use them."Fucking absurd. I'm gonna start tossing these things.
I did, however find a shilling from New Zealand in the mix which was pretty strange and fun.
Oh well, it will be nice to cash this shit in a have a bit of extra money to throw in the new bike fund, or something.

I got an executive cash jar for Christmas last year. I've been dumping change in it daily, and it's keeping a tally. So far, I'm almost $100 in. It's absolutely stupid how quickly the spare change builds up.
I will count it for you. And go find some place to cash it all in.
You have so much money there it is fucking insane.
You are making my head spin.
Oh. My. God.
Talking about throwing your pennies away.
Just don't even talk to me.

Count it all out. Roll it up, or put it in baggies or whatever. Take it to your bank and deposit it, then pay it all toward your credit card!
As un-fun as that sounds.
Also, I actually hate change too. But I love money. As you know. And I only love it, because it is so damn hard to come by. And that's the only reason it's so blasphemous to me that you'd just throw your pennies away. Which, of course, I know you're not actually going to do ;)
I quite literally almost never use cash. And when I do, I give the change to my mom. Otherwise, like the three quarters, two pennies and a nickel that I DO have currently, just sit and sit and sit in the bottom of my purse for MONTHS on end. Forgotten.
My mind is still boggled.
Okay, and not that I haven't commented enough already, but-
That's how we bought our Super Nintendo.
Saving any and all change. And our dad donated his change anytime he had some. Which is probably the nicest thing he ever did when we were kids, hahahahaha....
Give me your change, thanks! I agree it's a pain in the ass but it's still money.
