Quarters are like gold for college students and people in their early 20s who don't have their own laundry machines. Seriously. Remember how pissed you were when you had to pay a dollar for four quarters so you could do your laundry? Or if you had to spend a quarter rather than a two dimes and a nickel to buy a soda?
My husband just purchased a small apartment building that has a coin operate laundry machine and dryer. Now, every few weeks he brings the quarters home and we have the opposite problem - fifty dollars in quarters!
Thing I Love About the South
No one gets mad when they wait for you to pay for 27.31 in groceries using change in the self-scan aisle at Ingles. In fact, they admire you for not paying the .09 on the dollar that Coinstar charges.
Thing I Love About Paying In Quarters
HM, who was all "Mom, why did you take that Diet Pepsi from me, you are the worst mom in the world and I am going to scream so everyone knows it," was so fascinated watching me put quarters in the slot that she forgot to cry.
Things I Look Forward To
In a few years, HM will want to do it for me.
