gridlore | Penguins. A sound investment.

Several years ago we acquired a penguin-shaped Japanese candy container while at Baycon. One at home, we decided to use it as a change jar. A hole was cut in the lid, and all non-quarter change was dumped in. After about four years, the penguin was just over half-full.

Today, we took it down to the grocery store to use the Coinstar machine.

Even with the charge for taking a cash payment, we got close to sixty bucks. We could have taken it as an iTunes Store card at full value.

Save those pennies, folks!
