My main source of coin surplus works like this: 5 dollar bills – cost of coffee – laundry money = coin surplus.
It’s amazing how many coins can accumulate from such a formula, albeit over a period of time: 2,610 bits of metal that were a little troublesome to lug to the bank.
Thankfully, nowadays I have a coin sorting “bucket”, like the one below, to help out. Since we haven’t reached an all-plastic society yet, I highly recommend getting one; I found mine at Staples (it’s not listed online strangely).
