<\/p>\nFinally got around to counting all of the loose change. Again, here is the picture for reference:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The breakdown came out to something like this:<\/p>\n
Pennies:<\/strong> 408 = $4.08 Total = $209.23<\/strong><\/p>\n Not the highest I have accumulated, but decent I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d say. I know what surprises most people usually is how many quarters there are as normally one would expect to only have a lot of pennies. Most of my loose change comes from buying items from stores that don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t accept a credit card. Example, if an item was $1.50 most likely I would only have a five dollar bill and so at the end of the day that coin change gets stored.<\/p>\n Almost like a self disciplined savings contribution. I can easily imagine spending it too if I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t store it away at the end of the day. Now the trickier part is usually afterwards on what to use the money on as I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just want to spend it on say dinner but rather find a way to invest it to hopefully accumulate more funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally got around to counting all of the loose change.
