sorting coins and wrapping them

I know this is crazy, but I spend my change. For instance, if my bill at the store is $3.24 I'll check in my purse to see if I have the change and actually give it to the cashier.

Here in the northeast, Commerce bank has free automatic coin counters. Coinstar machines are in almost every supermarket, and charge less than 10 cents on the dollar.

I use the free machines once a year for pennies, all of my other change goes in city parking meters now that they take dimes, nickels and quarters. At $1/hour, it adds up.

Sorting and wrapping coins is a nice chill activity when you don't feel up to anything else... quiet hungover afternoons and the like.

But better is always making sure you have ten or so pennies in your pocket and making the goal of every transaction walking away with fewer pennies than you came in with. Do this until your stupid penny jar is empty, then don't do it until it's full again. It becomes part of the cycle of life.
