Yes, i know this is random, but its occured to me that many people don't take back the change from cashiers; for example, Bill = 6.96 - You dont' keep the change...

 

 

 

So, im'a try and make a list of all the uses of change and need your help...

 

 

 

I'll go first.

 

 

 

- When you have £20 note for petrol and you it comes out at £20.03 ... You then only have a £10 or £5 to make the 3p difference.

 

 

 

Fire away with other whacky uses for change.

 

 

 

(oh, and im talking like 1p, 2p, 5p) :P

I have found that change is a good way to build up a small bonus after a few months. Each time I get change, I just plop it on my side table, and when there is too much, I organize it. After about 6 months, I get around 30-50$ worth of Dimes, nickles, and quarters. It's nice to go turn it into a bank and suddenly have 30-50$ in bills, ready to spend on something nice.

If it's just a penny or two I'm gonna be getting, I just tell 'em to put it in whatever charity collection thing they've got.

 

 

 

I remember, when I was in Paris, giving money to one for Lebanon. I think it was during the Israel-Lebanon conflict too.

a few things that I do with my change...

 

Put it in a massive jar, then go to a bank and get them to count it out...

 

Super glue larger ammounts of change, £1 £2 and 50ps to bowls or the concrete outside of school, and watch people bend over and try pick it up...

 

Give it to tramps

 

Buy mars bars 8-)

I'm a cashier. When people leave me their change, I put it off to the side for other customers that may need it. I find that at the end of the day, that change is usually all used up by people. So, my till is never really over, people didn't have to break larger bills, and someone didn't have extra clanking coming from their pocket. All works out.

 

 

 

As for me, I don't keep pennies. Everything else I throw in a jar and exchange it for bills once the jar gets full.

According to small children, they are quite tasty.

 

 

 

I once ate a £1 coin when I was quite young and almost choked, thankfully, i managed to wheeze and cough it up and out.

 

The worst part is nobody was around me, so nobody was around to help.

That's cause americans don't let you bring anything fun to school (no knives, guns, explosives...)... :lol: Yeah I live in the US.

 

 

 

Buying crap out of those little machines that you stick quarters in... Paying small children who think four nickels is worth more than a quarter... I think that's prolly the best.

PENNY gun?

 

Seen 2 types, one that shoots railgun style, and the other using air. Not lethal, but cool to use.
