Okay. So today we took in my change to the coinstar machine. Yeah it takes away a good chunk (about .09 on the dollar) but we don't have the patience to roll the stuff and then actually have time to make it to the bank before it closes....
ANYways...
It was a normal sized (looks rather small to me) ocean spray juice bottle. It was packed full of change. BUT not one single quarter was in it, so just dimes, nickels and LOTS of pennys.
Both Carl and I thought it'd have around 10 or maybe 15$ at the MOST
So there we are pouring in the change (hard to do with that narrow neck I might add!)
It passes 10$
It passes 20$

It passes 30, and 40$
By the time it passes 50$ our eyes are POPPIN out of our sockets! And we notice it has a LOT more change to go.
Do you KNOW how much was in that little jar I thought was almost worthless????
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!! And that was AFTER coin star took their portion too! WOW!!!
I couldn't believe it though, carl DIDN'T want to wait in line to cash it in!!! THANK GOODNESS he looked to check and sure enough we needed to do it THAT day! ROFL how could he NOT want to wait for that much money?
What a great day this has been, and not just because of that!
