small change

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

i am cleaning small change out of various nooks and crannies, and it seems i have a lot of it.

what's a good way to get it turned into useful money around here? just take it to a bank? is there still a machine for change at the shaw's in porter square? any charities accepting bucket-o-change?

your tuppence (figuratively) solicited :)

Although I feel I should point out that the last time I used that machine, I actually knew how much money I was putting in (I needed an amazon certificate for an exact amount), and it just kept about 45 cents out of my 12.50. It's supposed to return any coins it doesn't like, but it doesn't. And I'm pretty sure there was nothing wrong w/ them to begin with.

I suspect most people figure loseing a little extra is still worth not counting it yourself, but if be aware that they are not necessarily that accurate.

*nods* thanks, good to know. i have a change-counting jar at home that i'm filling, so i'll know about how much i have too, but i've also noticed that mine's not perfectly accurate either.
