    Have You Ever Seen One of These?

    I was cleaning out my closet and was getting rid of a bunch of old pictures and I ran across this. I don't remember how long it took me to accumulate it, but I do remember it was $3,300.00. I used the money as a down payment on my house. It was nickels, dimes and quarters...

    Yep I cashed one in when we got married 24 years ago had like $1900 in it of all coins, and then started a few more I now keep the coins separated. One for cents, one for nickels and one for dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollar coins.
    Better than the dump!

    I'm too OCD to just put all of my coins in in just one container. I use vitamin jars for holding my change. I have one for quarters, and I start a new one once I get $100 in a jar. One jar for dimes, one for nickels, one for pennies 1983 and after, one for 1982 pennies, one for 1960-1981. One for 1959 coins any denomination (the missus was born in 59, I have a project planned) and one for Wheaties, one for any other coins 1958 & before. Silver stays in the box with my other silver bars that I have at home.

    I'm odd... But I'm OK with it.

    I never get to the point where I have thousands of dollars in change. I cash it all out prior to vacations and such.
