Cashing In
Remember this post featuring a large coffee can full of silver change?
Well, I followed some of your advice and took it to a Coinstar machine. I figured Coinstar's 9% fee was a small price to pay for not having to count it all. I honestly thought it would amount to about $150. I was wrong:
It turned out to be worth about $465. All the cash isn't pictured because I indulged in a rash orgy of consumerism by purchasing a gallon of milk and razor refills.
October has proved to be a rather lucrative month. Particularly, when the extra income from my part-time job as an exotic dancer at local retirement homes is also factored into the equation:

You handed $41.85 off to Coinstar. Ouch!!!
kira-They try, but the Fixodent always screws it up.
kalleigh-Years of practice.
verity-I'm thinking maybe two truly kickass meals.
j$-What song is that to? And, yes that is duck sauce.
ACW-It's OK. They don't really make it out of ducks.
cham-I assumed that it would take 6 hours to handroll the coins and take them to the bank. Even if I valued my time as low as $10/hr, I came out ahead.
You realize those hundreds are counterfeit, don't you? I don't recall Ben Franklin having a earrings...

BREAKDANCE!!!
I had no idea you had that kind of cash. On a totally unrelated note, have I ever told you how hot I think you are? Call me.
susie-No, I have a prescription for that penicillin. A prescription with many refills, to be precise.
dyck-The hundreds are legit, but the coupons turned out to be counterfeit. Damned old bats and their inkjets.
j$-Damn, rocking the old school.
karla-Quit trying to rook me out of my Milkbones.
luck-They don't give the good stuff.
I nominate these last two posts among TFG's Top 10 All-Time Best.
You know, with a little know how, those matches and paperclips could become a very deadly weapon...or perhaps a really good accessory!
Wait a sec - are those roofies???? Some sweet, innocent old lady is paying you in roofies??? That's hot . . .
Old ladies with removable dentures make the best groupies, for the obvious reason: senior citizen discounts.

Kinda McGyverish, when those items are grouped together.
