Next time bring a hand truck. Make a bet: whoever can guess closest to how many coins are in there gets to keep the whole lot and then count them out together.

Akin to USSID18, you know you're an addict when:

You slow down slightly but noticeably and stare longingly and, somewhat painfully, as you pass these:

I would have had to negotiate something with my friend!

I found this on Reddit (r/mildlyinfuriating). I don't think I have to explain what I was thinking of instead of the paper plate.

What do you see?

You know you're an addict when you look forward to your trips across the border so that you can go to the nearest bank and get rolls. After filling your pockets with rolls and concerned that your belt may break if you add one more, you make your wife carry 10 rolls of pennies in her purse until you get back to the hotel.

You know Cdncoins, you might really have a problem when you stay three extra nights after roll searching in the hotel and return the rest to a bank each day.

Just read through this. So funny.
A few mentioned being disappointed when a cashier puts in the couple cents and you don't get loose change back. I hate that. I've never said no but I always say Thank you in what must seem a very sad way.

I can see it.

By the way, I had Trader Joe's Hatch Chile Mac & Cheese for dinner tonight. Good stuff.
