Im Writing this because I Think every one needs a little humor in there life, so i going to at least get maybe a little smile or maybe just maybe at least a little chuckle by telling you my real life story/experience with a coin star machine.

For Those of you that don't know what a coin star machine is its actually a machine that will accept your spare change. you can either donate it or exchange it for paper currency. these machines are usually in a public high traffic area. The one i happened to be at was at the front of a bi-los grocery store with all the check out lines right behind me.

Well a walk up in the bi-los holding my huge bag and can of change. I go straight to the coin star machine getting the strangest looks from any one and every one that sees me so I'm feeling a little nervous and shy. I get to the machine proceed to dump my change in. I dump in the smaller can first this takes about 5 minutes because it was just silver change(Nickels Dimes Quarters). It runs up to about $80. Next I Grab my big bag of pennys with a Grunt(I Really Did Grunt and almost fell over). so i start dumping my pennys in. while I'm standing there im stuffing so many pennys in this poor little box that it starts to jam up and just beep an make all kinds of weird noises. The little screen on it starts to say WOW you have allot of coins please wait while we catch up. At This Point I'm a little frustrated with the machine and embarrassed by the crowd Consisting of employees customers and even a manager I've drawn in. Ive been standing for about 30 minutes shoving as many pennys in as fast as i can when the machine clicks and stops accepting coins the screen reads Wait For us to catch up. Now I'm really Ticked. 15 minutes goes by it catches up so i stuff in more pennys. The crowd is huge by now and I'm getting remarks like that's where all the copper is, or wow son you've got allot of pennys. The screen reads process complete and it gives you amounts of coins you put in and the dollar value. Now For the big deal, i Stood in the middle of a bi-lo for roughly a hour drew a crowd that can compete with the super bowl...... To Stuff 22,000 Pennys into a coin star machine. Yea That's right TWENTY TWO THOUSAND PENNYS!!!! My face is red I'm embarrassed like crazy every one is staring so i take my ticket to get my money. The Manager is already waiting for me. He Says "Well was that fun or what?" I can do nothing but smile and walk out the door.

 I Hope My Story is at least a little entertaining. I am looking forward to comments.
