Pennies playing hard to get

I’m the weird one who likes to wrap coins! I used to do it for my mom - she let me keep the money! Big stuff to an elementary kid. I did the same with my kids - they started in preschool. Sadly, I just don’t have a lot of coins anymore to wrap.

the coinstar machine at our local grocery store was also a hit with my kids. We shopped every week and all the employees knew us. Every so often, the manager would open up the machine. Anything that can’t get sorted (I.e foreign money) get put into a container. He’d empty the container into a bag and would give it to my kids. So much fun to dig through, especially since we couldn’t travel anywhere back then. Sadly, the store closed many years ago. But good memories
