My son used to be happy to count and roll my coins. He does it himself. Since I stopped working though, I rarely had cash in my purse and used a debit card for most purchases so rarely have change. When I get paid from an ebay transaction with a Money Order, I do cash it in for cash during the summer months and keep it in a change purse for yard sales--yesterday being a good example. I left with about $12+change and returned with about $2+change and loads of goodies. Two full bags of fabric for a $1 each with pieces large enough for garment sewing. A stack of books that are already listed on Amazon for a total of over $100, a free bunch of greeting cards, a depression glass plate worth about $20 (I'm keeping it because it is pretty). All for using basically a hand full of change. I'm especailly excited about the fabric as I know I have enough corduory to make 5-6 skirts, plus other fabric for tops or dresses. Who says it cost too much money to sew these days?
