Fireball 440 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 So I got a couple hundred in change but I can't go to the bank to dump in the machine because the doors are locked because of Covid govt. guidelines. The coin shortage is fake news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I pull in about a buck fifty in quarters a month in the coin op laundry machines, I just bring it to Coinstar at the local Stop and Shop. They charge 11% which is a ripoff, but most of the local banks around here got rid of their coin counters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors have been locked since March here, masks required everywhere, but the tweakers aren't fucking dead deer in the ditches here either.

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted July 22, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 22, 2020 I have a 5 gallon water bottle filled to the max with coins .....need a hand truck to move it. Have had it probably over 20 years...No idea how Im ever going to cash it in, has to be thousands of dollars worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I hadn't heard about this deal until someone asked if we had extra quarters. They couldn't get rolls to do their laundry. I get a lot of quarters from laundry ops. It has been more difficult to cash in coins lately. It makes sense that they would be short if people can't turn them in. Ironically, I noticed that I have less coins going into the coin jar from daily misc. spending. A lot less. . . I used to throw a pile in the jar every day. Purchasing habits have certainly changed. It is rare to throw anything in the jar lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local guy here had the same thing and when he cashed it in it had just under 4 grand in it. Nice little payday for you.

We've been using debit cards for years. I never carry cash anymore unless there is a specific reason. We always keep around $50 in smaller bills in the console for the occasional trip through the DD drive thru. Still pass them cash as I always told them to keep the change for the tip.

I did find out the hard way the idiots at home depot when they spent the money replacing the check out lanes with self checkout didn't give that capability. I use the wallet so rarely i often forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that they offer freebies that you can't otherwise get. He uses the freebies to help supplement his freeze dried food that he eats while living out of his car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is putting together a Nissan Pathfinder or something like that to live in when he is on the road. When he comteast he flies and rents a car. Probably a fun life at that age if you don't have anything tying you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the paddle sports reps used to have one. I think he paid around $100k for it and I think he bought it used. Jacob doesn't have that kind of coin. Nicole and I have been talking about picking up a small used motorhome. We already have the pole barn and there is a dump pipe hooked to the septic for easy waste dumps after short trips. The former owners had a small motorhome so the place is setup pretty well for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
