after thinking about going to atlantic city and my poor $10 in my bank account, i remembered my HUGE STASH OF COINAGE – an old glass jar shaped like a squirrel that held coins of all denominations EXCEPT PENNIES. just silver coins, like these…

last i counted them it was almost $40 if i remember right, and that was a few months ago. basically i just toss all my spare change in here. counting it up now to see how much in there i really do have. 😀 😀
i feel like scrooge mcduck.
edit: according to coinstar.com, something about this size should hold about $57.08… i’m guessing this is about 32 oz… wonder how many i have compared to that…
