I keep hearing this, but one cant get into the bank to cash in your piggy bank.. I have several hundreds of dollars of rolled coins and even at the drive in window, " no coins" So I guess I set on them some day a coin collector may want them..
Have a good day, be save and don't take any wooden nickels!!!!

its always struck me odd that due to (almost) every states sales tax,

how often the total amount seems to comes closer
to just OVER an even dollar than just UNDER.

so if you pay cash, then the burden is
if you dont have like 10 or 15 cents or so in your pocket
the store is gonna have to give you like 85 or 90 cents or so in change.
then you dump it in a jar when you get home
and repeat the same process next shopping trip.

this requires retail stores
to have an inordinate amount of change on hand,
several rolls worth in each register drawer
and boxes of rolls to back that up.
not only is that a burden for the stores,
but a strain on the economy, because all that change
is taken out of circulation, causing INFLATION.
and so is the stuff forgotten in jars too.

yet all large retailers cling to the .99, .98 or .97 price points, etc,
as an inventory tool, keeping track of whats full retail,
whats on sale, or whats on clearance.

so when youre counting out change at the register
to avoid getting loaded with a pocketful back,
youre essentially being an "unpaid employee" of that store,
hurting the economy for "free".

"well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

I was in a store that has a COINSTAR machine you can use since the banks wont take your coin right now. It had a sign on it: MACHINE FULL
