Counting Coins

I cashed in $100 worth of rolled coins at the bank today. This is the amount of spare change that we've accumulated over the previous year or so. Typically, I roll a little bit at a time, and just keep adding the rolls to a shoebox that I keep in the closet. Today, much to my surprise, the bank now has a change counter, and rolled coins are no longer accepted. The clerk, acting somewhat perturbed, unrolled the 20 rolls of coins and dumped them into the machine. And, instead of $100, it came out to $101.27. The moral of this story, I don't need to roll my spare change anymore, which will save a lot of time and effort, and I gained an extra $1.27 that I didn't know I had. Wow, it's a great day. LOL
