penny collecting

some people hate coins and having change around in their pockets, purse or other money-carrying contraption. in the past few years when money's been tighter than ever and I've been on my own, i've started saving every piece of coinage that comes my way. it definitely pays off, though does require a hit of patience. it's also something Trevor and I do together, making it special for us and contributes to something fun for us to do together. just another way to save your pennies!! literally. as you can see, we even throw dollar bills in the jar to help it accrue funds quicker.
