I did. It was heavy.

| I never managed to save any change as I would use random amounts in my pocket to pay for the bus. |

Why do you have change..?
Do you allocate yourself a certain amount of cash a day and chuck the rest in a jar at the end of the day?
If I have change I spend it. And I don't take the bus/subway/train/taxi either. Just on bread or snacks or drinks or whatever.
I feel like I'm missing out on 100s of thousands of won... I wish I had change. |

| Geesh. And here I was thinking the extra W327,560 won (plus $1.26 in U.S. coins, 20 yen, two hairpins and a marble) I cashed in last week was a good haul. I'm an amateur, I tell you, an amateur. |

| A save an average of 10k per week in change so vast sums at the end of a year are achievable. Unfortunately I'm weak and always spend it. I consider it 'free dinner' for an evening because to me change doesn't seem like proper money for some reason. |

Most banks have a "Coinstar" style machine that sorts and counts all the change you bring in. They're kinda tempermental, though. Last time I cashed in the thing choked up on me a dozen times. I don't know what the cut is, but I think it's between 5 and 10%, depending on where you take it in. |

Change doesn't feel like money so I don't use it and I just put whatever's in my pocket into a plastic salsa container at the end of the day. |
