Hint: There were 354 nickels

I can’t put my quarters in the change bank. They’re still too useful for bus fare and doling out to panhandlers since I don’t smoke anymore. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 11:58 13
- Yeah, I resent every quarter I give to Coinstar. But "You'll take my useless nickels and it only costs 14% of their value and I can only redeem at -- (edited) - Roger More Aug 30, 12:13 6
  - Huh. Mine spit out an Amazon gift code with no fee. -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 12:14 5
    - So you get this flimsy tissue more valuable than gold...than cold pressed latinum, looking no different from a gas station receipt, don't lose it -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 13:16 3
      - What is this "gas station" you speak of? -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 13:36 1
        
        its this thing where random people are allowed to squirt highly flamable toxic fluid from a metered dispenser into their metallic transport devices -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 14:46
      - That's exactly it -- nm - JD Aug 30, 13:20
    - Exactly. I've mentioned before, I buy out the bookstore coin and convert to Amazon credit. Always have money on hand for impulse buys :) -- nm - Meg Aug 30, 13:01
- Last 5 words? -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 11:58 5
  - Giving beggars a cigarette is the best way to keep it moving. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 11:59 4
    - to keep what moving? their decline? -- nm - mud Aug 30, 12:08 1
      - Moot point now. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 12:58
    - Huh. Never thought of that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:00 1
      - Of course, they are worth more than a couple of quarters by now. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 12:00

- No, just... no -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 11:41 1
  - I was actually serious in that I tend to spend my quarters, but no other change. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:09
666 -- nm - mud Aug 30, 11:35 7
- that's too low. How about 1333 -- nm - mud Aug 30, 11:36 6
  - Too high -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 11:37 5
    - 987 -- nm - mud Aug 30, 11:41 4
      - To low, but close enough: 1054 and 610 dimes - TWuG Aug 30, 11:42 3
        
        *laugh* I was going to guess something close to that -- (pic) - JD Aug 30, 11:45 [Attachment] 1
        
        Nice! :-) -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 11:51
