    Sorry for the coin shortage... I started a cuss jar to help with all the people I have to interact with.

    I'll be able to retire next year at the current rate..

    pay with a debit card. it's better for you to actually see where your money is going.

    this could be worse, if you were up in Canada, and paid for something, and they gave you bills and coin in Canadian.

    good luck using that rag paper down here.

    I recently went to a subway and tried paying with a hundred dollar bill, the clerk looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head and said she couldn’t take it. I let them keep the sandwich and left.

    It took two or three more tries at other businesses before I finally got a tiny mom and pop liquor store to take the hundred.

    Loves says they will buy your change. However they didn’t want any part of the 2.... 5 gallon water bottles full of change.
    I brought down to the loves by my home 20.
    So took them back home and back in garage.

    I think all those heavy Loonies and Toonies in your pocket are an unholy alliance between the Queen and the pants manufacturers to make you buy new trousers when the pockets wear out.

    they will gladly buy the change, if they were all rolled up.

    that's how i got to cash in $25.00 at the local Aldi store a few days ago.

    they couldn't be any happier, someone had change to "sell them".

    this too, is why, if i am walking someplace, i actually do pick up coins on the ground.

    just in one visit to the local walmart a couple of weeks ago, from where i parked my car, to the door at the store?

    i found 72¢, on the ground.

    the wife and i put all the change in soup cans, and when each can tops up, we roll the change, and exchange that for paper money.
