    I sat down a little too much with a thud I guess, and bumped the night stand. It rocked back, toward me, and over she went. F. Almost full.

    I have saved every bit of change at the end of the day in this cup since I have moved to Arizona ( 11-1/2 years, same as when started driving truck ). Figure $1 day average. I empty it into larger containers and store them in the safe.

    Your the reason the ferderal budget is so messed up. If you would cash all that change in, the feds could pay off part of the national debt.

    I did the same thing with one of those 5 gallon water bottles. Was kind of hard holding it up to dump in the CoinStar machine. Ended up a little over $400

    Those T/A plastic cups are known for that.:)

    Edit: Wrong forum, should be Trucking Accidents.

    Cups almost 12 years old lol.
    I estimate a $1 day. Cause some time .30 or .40 cents goes in, more often than not over $1, but times when $3 or $4 go in.

    It didn't dawn on me how much it was until I moved.
    When Dad git real sick nearly 3 years ago, I had the mobile moved liked 3 miles from Glendale to Peoria, dial a ride won't cross city lines, and all his doctors, dialysis, etc., are in Peoria.
    So anyway I go to move all these jars & containers of change ( gotta MT the house), and I'm like F, this is a lot of weight.

    I figure $4K neighborhood. Lol
