How much coin do I have? - Nubblies.net Forums

Orgazmo · 03-18-2005, 02:39 AM

I've been throwing my change into a large purple pig for the past 3 or 4 years. In those years, I've counted it once...about 2 years ago.

Tonight, the change gets counted again.

So how much coin do I have? This much:

For scale purposes:

And, once liberated from the purple prison:

How much do you think is there? Go ahead and drop a guess. The person that's the closest will be moved up 3 pegs in my official book of respect.

I haven't counted yet...but I'm about to do just that. I'll provide the exact figure tomorrow evening sometime.

Bye now.

Not that this has anything to do with your purple friend, but I see that you are a Snapple fan. Have you had the Snapple Apple? Fucking wonderful. I drink it all the time at work.

Orgazmo · 03-18-2005, 03:01 AM

Of course I've had Snapple Apple. While it's the best applejuice on the market, it's nothing compared to their fine line of teas.

I guess I'm just so excited about it because it's the only Snapple in the vending machine at work, and it happens to be one of the better ones.

My favorite tea is the Peach. Mouthgasm in a bottle.

Hey Orgazmo, I have a neat machine called a coin counter. It neatly places all of you coinage into rolls, thus making the counting process much less time consuming. If you wanna borrow it just let me know.

while those are extremely convenient, they just aren't as badass as counting by hand. when you have a lot of change that you haven't totaled, it's a fuckton more awesome when you finally do get it all counted after working on it for a good while.

however, if you just want the fucking coins to turn into usuable, convenient currency, just take it to a coinstar machine inside of any kroger for it to all be counted and converted into dollar bills. literally, all you have to do is dump the fucking coins in, and take the ticket with your total on it to the customer service person. they'll take it and give you beautiful, green objects of sexual desire and happiness.

Bad idea. Those charge you for the usage...I forget the rate, but if you're a member of a bank, most banks will change it into cash for you for free.

Saint DH · 03-18-2005, 03:55 AM

Yeah, I forgot about those coinstar machinces. Great fucking idea right there. I should have thought of that. Kind of makes the coin counter obsolete.

Most also make you wrap them yourself first.

I still love my coin counter... Why drive to a grocery store or a bank to sort your money? You get the best of both worlds: count your own money, but with convenience.

Orgazmo · 03-18-2005, 03:59 AM

I believe the coinstar rate is something around 8%. Not sure why I think that.

Thanks for the offer Dirty, but, as the_butcher stated, I'm a fan of hand counting...at least if I haven't counted in over a year. Also, since all I did was put the coin back into the pig after I counted, there's no need to wrap or anything. If ever I plan on converting the coin into paper, I'll definitely contact you...and I appreciate it.

The coin has been totaled. I'll reveal the number tomorrow...along with the identity of the person who I respect more than ever before.

I'll bet you have $184.26

BSU fed. credit union on oakwood doesnt. You just pour and it gives you a ticket and you take it to the front.

tonguegina · 03-18-2005, 04:21 AM

Well, I suppose if they have a machine in the front...

Like I said, though, most banks don't have that. At least the banks that I've been in.

Saint DH · 03-18-2005, 03:07 PM

Every bank I've had count my coin has told me that they don't want it wrapped up. Since they put it in a machine, when it's wrapped it just creates more work for them since they have to unwrap.
