How to Count Loose Change


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

It’s always been such a pain to count loose change. No more, though! I have a money-counting jar. All I have to do is push the change into it, and it keeps track of how much change I’ve put in there! This “smart” Jar counts every coin as it slips though the slot.Then, sums up your total deposits and displays them on an easy- to – read LCD screen. So you never have to count manually – or wait an extra second to reward your self when you reach your goal.

The top has a sorting machine inside of it. It counts the change you put in by judging the width of it. It only works on US coins at this time. It takes a precision screwdriver to get the top off, and get to your money. But this is a seriously easy and even fun way to count out your loose change!

Why sit on that change, and have it lying around? Why not keep it in a jar like this, and know how much you have at all times? You can turn it in for gift certificates to somewhere, or buy that new gadget you’ve had your eye on.

A bit much to spend money to count money. About as bad as those machines that take 10% of your cash just to count and dispense. I’ve belonged to a credit union longer than I’ve been married (30 years) and they provide change counters at no charge. I always feel sorry for the folks I see in stores giving away their hard-earned cash when they need it most.

I don’t think I’ll join their ranks by purchasing one of these doodads. Besides, you’ll still have to run it through someone’s machine to turn it into greenbacks. What’s the point of the redundancy?

You can count change by weighing it if you separate out the nickels and pennies. Dimes and quarters can be weighed together (because 5 dimes weigh exactly as much as 2 quarters).
