When you're coin roll hunting, your desk is so covered with coins that when you try to use it, you knock down every second column and have to start all over again  (I watch movies on my laptop while searching, and unfortunately, my headphones have a short line on them. Result: when I lean over to pick up dropped cents TSSSCH!  ) |

OMG, I do this all the time. One time I got a look like I was about to rob them. I didn't quite know how to react. |

...having your kids pick up all the loose change they find just so you can see the date...
...debating buying lunch or have an extra $7 for the coin store...
...spending 100+ times face for a coin...
... out when your wife folds her bills before you saw what they were no matter where you are...
...looking through church donations wondering how to trade it out...
...spending all your spare time trying to figure out how to buy a coin counter and have people come to you just so you can go through their change...

When I was returning my latest box of cents to the bank coin counter, the person in front of me dumped 3 coffee cans worth of coins into the machine. I was trying to figure out how to get the coins. It killed me to watch unsearched coins go into that machine. I tried my best to convince myself that they were collectors, but I just couldn't. |

you ask the people at the supermarket when the CoinStar guy comes in so that you can try to find out where he takes the coins so you can go there and try and buy the rolls

...when every purchase the wife makes is automatically converted in your mind into how many coins it could have bought! (Seriously, my wife bought a $200 FAKE Louis Vuitton purse. I'm not kidding, it was FAKE and $200.....She tried to justify it by telling me the real thing is $2000 and this one looks exactly the same. She truly believed she had saved $1800! I believed she just wasted $200 worth of coin money on a POS!).

The wife bought them and sent them to her sister and cousins. They thought we were RICH! Ssshhhhh! She still hasn't told them.  |

... when you spend the day before payday figuring out what you're going to buy and by the time the check hits, 90 percent of the money is already spent  |

The only time you ever set foot in a bank branch is to get coin rolls.
