People in these troubled Economic times every little bit Helps, words like these could have never been So true. Yet all to often what do we see. Personally I can't begin to count how many times I have seen a wayward penny right there on the ground. Sometimes they are even fresh and shiny as if the Mint had just tossed it out of the Armored Car. So with this knowledge I began to Imagine the Possibilities.

One Day I got one of those 5 Gallon Water Bottles (You know, the ones that sit on the Water Cooler somewhere on an Office floor or in the Break room) and I made good use of the Water by taking a nice, luxurious bath. I kept the Water Bottle and Began to fill it with Change. Change after I had Bought Groceries and what not, Change that I had set aside out of my Paycheck ,and even change I found on the Ground. Once I had finished one bottle, I went to work filling another. Having filled two bottles. I sacked the coins after the water bottle was full and took them to the Bank (Believe it or not, if you have loose change in a Sack and can provide your Bank Account number on a slip or a tag inside the Sack. When the sack is collected by the Armored Car taking it to the Reserve Bank the Reserve Bank Will credit the coin count to your Savings or Checking Account. Some banks and credit Unions Have Coin Counting Machines and will Be Able to credit your Account on the Spot ).

Lo And Behold I had a nice little Nest Egg that I never could have noticed I was neglecting. Somebody was right when they said "A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned". I was able in Six Months to Pay for a Semester in College and pay for my books .All from what I nickled and dimed here and there along the way.

So with this newfound knowledge don't let your Pennies go Neglected. Take the Time to look beyond the conventional method of Saving Money and Try a Jug of your Own.
