So, I got $300 in quarters from the bank today....

and I was asked by the teller if I collect coins. I had to chuckle because I got the quarters for a video-poker/slot machine I just bought.
For some reason coin collecting didn't cross my mind at all.

    So I'm sure you answered 'yes' and the teller is now watching for silver coins for you, right?!

    Not much of a jack pot for a 25 cent machine...image

    I answered "no I don't collect, it's for a slot machine" because I was caught off guard.

    The machine is set up to give $25 in credit for every quarter and is multi-denominational for the play.

    If this is at a bank you frequent, sometimes it might not hurt to say yes. I have seen a few goodies set aside for me at some banks that know me.

    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    Sadly I didn't, but it was nice to get a little "bonus round" of a coin search without even thinking about it. image
