When we get these worthless coins we just empty our wallets and leave them in one place and over the years many appear but we never spend them; as who will accept a sack of 1 or 2 cents for a product you buy? They became waste, unfortunately...
And we empty our pockets and wallets of coins, put them in an empty box of Nutrla cream, and once or twice a year, I take that pile of coins, sometimes even a whole kilogram, to a nearby market and pay my bill with them.
when the saleswoman looks at me, I tell her "I washed the windows of cars at traffic lights, this is my tip" 😁
Money is money, whether it's a coin, banknote or electronic. I didn't steal it and when I pay, even with the smallest denominations, I'm not ashamed(maybe it's a little bit that I'm making a fuss and extra work for the saleswoman😁).
I see we are not the only ones who do this. Yes, it is our money we earned but got back as a change in this form 🤷♀. Hahaha, good idea to say that it was earned while washing the windshields of the cars hahaha
My son had a piggy bank so collected also many coins but happened the same - never really used them as it is frowned upon to take all those coins to pay. Well, it is time to use them, today again - tough times 😂 although I guess the other customers will hate me for waiting in line while we count the coins on the cash register 🤣
We don't have it in Serbia, but I've seen cash registers abroad (in stores and at gas stations), which have a "funnel" into which you pour coins and it counts them out, takes the amount of the bill. a great thing to reduce the crowd and get rid of change quickly.
I also had one such piggy bank, I used to put 1e coin in it, every time I cursed - that was my wife's punishment.
You probably know, to us, swearing is like "good day" 😆
And at the end of the year, we went on a trip to a nearby town with that money.
The trip was not cheap... tolls, fuel, coffee, lunch, cakes, bar... So imagine how many swear words I uttered during that year 😅
