Me, I hate the change. Loonies and doubloonies I can cope with -- those are worth saving. The boy and I once saved up enough in loonies and doubloonies over a two-year period to fly to France. And in a pinch, that stash of doubloonies will get you a pizza delivered on a cold and lonely winter's night.
But the pennies and the nickels and the dimes! Nowadays, even the quarters. Who can cope? When my wallet gets too heavy, I just dump them all into the change basket, which is growing ridiculously heavy at the moment. Anyone with a strong and willing teenager is welcome to send her/him over to my place to cart away the change basket to the nearest supermarket machine bandit.

Thanks to sparqui at Bread and Roses, who obviously spends 'way too much time playing YouTube. ;-)
