How long did that take you?

I have a jar for 500w and a pig for 100w's.
I try not to spend the 500w's when I'm out and about, as I want to fill up that jar. Serious coin!

Nice Cool About 5 years ago I racked up about 260,000 or something. Now the numbers are down because I go to the bank sooner, (too damn heavy and bulky) plus I make an effort to use change to round off numbers when buying.

No need to sort it. Go to a bank with a coin machine that does it for you. My KB branch has one.

Anyway, my record is 275,000 or thereabouts last month. Took a while to accumulate though...well over a year.

about a year or so. I also had about 200k in cheon wons. I have a habit of just shoving what ever change I have into my handbag. from there I throw it in an old water cooler bottle. Every so often I sort it out. But the KB star has a machine for the coins thank goodness!

The number of times Koreans have crossed my path in front of me to shorten their walking distance in the past 2 years. The basic ting about this country that irks me.

I've seen the KB bank change thing...

What exactly does it do? Does it sort ALL the different coins out and roll them... or does it sort it out and give you the money in bills?

Someone explain this miracle machine to me.

Very Happy
