I finally decided to clean out the drawer in my desk that I’d been dumping the contents of my pockets into every days for the better part of 3 years. Mass had built up in the drawer to the point that I was concerned about it’s structural integrity. Not to mention the fact that there were some many receipts pill ed up in the draw that I could close it anymore. So I decided to draw out one the Coinstar machine’s at the local super market (Star Market). I’ve known about these machines for awhile but always turned my nose up at the 8% cut they extract. Then I found out you can could get the full face value of your cold hard cash back as an Amazon gift certificate.

Plus some EU and what must be Japanese money that the machine graciously returned to me.
