One of the greatest inventions of the last century (right up there with this and this) is the Coinstar machine. Every couple of months for the last several years I've taken my change-bucket to the nearest Coinstar and purged myself of the latest harvest of nickels, dimes and pennies. A typical yield is about $60.00. Now that Monkey is in on the action, we usually have a little wager about the exact amount in the change bucket. Whoever's closer without going over wins.
