I love my coin sorter. In the past, I used to keep spare change in various glass jars littered throughout the house, so I recently made the decision to buy a coin sorting machine.

COINS ARE ANNOYING
Spare change is probably one of the most annoying things to deal with it, when it comes to managing finances. It accumulates everywhere – in your pockets, on your desk, in your car, wherever there is spare space. As a matter of fact, it seems to be a complete waste to me, as it tends to sit there and counting it manually is such a pain in the ass.

As I said, I used to build up tons of coins … but it doesn’t amount to much anyways, so what’s the point?

EXTRA CASH
As it turns out, the first batch of coins I counted came to over $100! And to think it had just been sitting there for months collecting dust! So, I took my bounty to the bank and proudly deposited it. My coin counter has paid for itself pretty quickly!

Here’s how what I do to take full advantage of my new toy:

  • - Any change I get goes right into the coin sorter, even if I need the money for something like coffee, etc.
  • - When the machine is full it’s a simple matter of filling up paper coin wrappers.
  • - Once I accumulate enough of these filled wrappers, I take them to the bank and deposit them.

It’s easy and you’ll be amazed at how quickly the coins accumulate. You’ll wonder why you never did it before!

Here’s why using a coin sorter is a great idea:

  • - In a way, when I empty it each month, it’s like ‘finding’ extra money.
  • - It’s like forced savings – if I don’t have any change in my pocket, I don’t spend.
  • - It’s a great way to keep your space clutter-free.

At the end of the day, money management is frequently about changing behaviours. There really is no magic formula.

The coin sorter is just a way to change the pattern of frivolous spending.
