The day I stopped ignoring my spare change jar
Back in 2021 I started tossing all my loose coins into an old pickle jar. After about 18 months it felt like such a waste of space, but I finally cashed it in at a Coinstar machine in Portland. Came out with $247.32 after the fee, which covered my electricity bill for two months. Now I keep a smaller jar on my dresser and grab a roll of quarters whenever it gets full. Anyone else find random cash piles like this in their house?

Wait, isn't the Coinstar fee like 12% just for counting your own money? I'd rather roll 'em myself and hit the bank for free.
