[rocker_oz33]

Nope
I've grown up - it's now Holden/Ford polo shirts all the way jk.

Holden or Ford .
That's like Coke vs Pepsi ...

 

[rocker_oz33]

Was watching the footy show doco thingy .
When David schwarz pushed Sam Newman it all blew up.
schwarz had a lot of mail like real mail.
Some people put bullets in letter saying if you want him gone.
Let us know.

People who, when catching up with one of your best friends, ask them how you are.

But you’ve never personally heard from these people in years

I seriously don’t get it

Happens to me.
I occasionally get asked about a couple of mates from people that don't see them anymore

I assume most people have a random jar/ashtray/mug full of coins that they've dumped from their pocket after going to the pub or the bakery.

My question is what people do with money. I have this big ****ing 1 litre mason jar full of coins... I have no idea how much, but there's plenty of gold - but I'm never taking (guesstimating) 80 bucks in coins anywhere.

What do I do with this shit?

Buy something nice for your self.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Buy something nice for your self.

And just pay for it in coins? That feels so weird.

edit: I guess the pub over the road already thinks I'm weird, it'd probably be on brand if I took a mason jar of coins in there and bought a carton.

Covid over you can pay in coins .

I would do it .
But I don't care about that stuff.
I would just say I've been saving up.

Take it to the bank and dump it in the coin deposit machine - I literally did it this morning with a coffee tin and there was $147 bucks in it

Be a philanthropist and Walk around the carpark for a day paying people’s parking metres

I don't reckon I've been in a bank in a decade - tell me more. Does it count it for you? Do I have to have an account at that bank to pay it into, or does it just spit out cash?

My bank has a coin counter ATM thingy. Pour them in and away it goes. I assume it's not cheating me...

Rips out 10% fee for non-customers I think.

 

[rocker_oz33]

No way .
Then leave a note on each car to pay it forward.

Waste of time and money

I did it at a Comm bank who I have an account with, you literally just put your card in like you do an ATM and dump the coins in the tray and it counts all for you. You can choose to put it straight into your account or it’ll give you a voucher to give to the teller if you want cash.

It's a machine it's too hard to get a bank teller these days .
Pour the coins eg cash in .
Pretty sure it gives you notes back.

Hudson knows what's going on.

 

[Private Hudson]

What you buying with ya cash ?

Cocaine and hookers

 

[rocker_oz33]

Cocaine and hookers

No trace.

Mrs Hudson can't trace it ..

 

[nobbyiscool]

Cocaine and hookers

I know what cocaine costs, so I shudder to think of the quality of hooker you got with what's left

After a few lines you might don't remember there was a hooker even there .

You're not getting a few lines for $147 either

 

[rocker_oz33]

Maybe a cheap hooker and a bag of flour then.

Some places have a limit on the amount you can pay in coins. I remember seeing an old lady dump about $50 in $2 coins onto a supermarket counter and the attendant said that $20 in coins was their limit.

It’s aggravating and time-wasting for a shop person to have to count coins. Plus errors could happen if there are a lot.

There are donation tins and tip jars in many stores, put a handful in whenever you see one.

The saddest thing is the OAP who opens her purse when buying a $5.95 coffee and puts a pile of coins on the counter

1. She is one of the few people technology has passed by /confused
2. That she is literally counting her pennies to have a treat
3. That the 14 people lined up behind her have to wait
