For the last 3 days I have been fighting a really bad cold. My legs are tired from chasing my nose kind of cold.  Anyway I was sitting at my desk trying to do something that would normally not take much effort and that I enjoy. I garbed my loop and a dollar to look at closer, right then I had to sneeze.  I Sneezed so hard my head came down and darn near Knocked myself out cold when my head hit the desk top.  I do not what to do that again ....Man my head still hurts ...and I am not sure why?

Probably the bright light, I find if I need a sneeze and can't just a quick look at a bright light source will force it out, I try not to have any coins in hand when doing that however!

For me, it's peppermint that makes me sneeze every single time! |

try some "cold-eze" cough drops - marketed as a cure - and they work that way for me - amazing. Then you can be back at your coins faster!

When searching through boxes I always say to myself "one more roll, then homework," only to find two hours later I'm still searching without even realizing. Then of course when I try to start my homework I find that not only are my eyes exhausted, but when reading I will go pages before I realize I've been thinking about coins the whole time.

You want dumb? I'll give you dumb: A middle-aged guy in a suit (me) standing at a Coke machine in an office building, repeatedly feeding quarters, dimes, and nickels into the machine and hitting the coin return.

Sounds like you were "laundering" coins by hitting the coin return button.
