Coin Counting Machine

Did you know that most banks now have a coin counting machine? I had no idea and thought I needed to roll all of our change before taking it in.  Most banks don't charge to use the machine and it is a fun activity for the kids. 

We took a canning jar full of change to our bank, poured it into this cool looking machine and left with $59.56 in cash. 

This was a great opportunity to talk with my little boy about money and he loved helping...he thought this machine was magic:)

  2. Awww, your son looks so cute at the money counter machine! He looks so tiny sitting next to it. I think it’s smart that you’re introducing him to the concept of money at a young age. That will hopefully prepare him for financial stability in the future.

    I was so amazed watching those coin counting machines in our area. Those coin and Bill Counting Machine are simple inventions yet useful to us.
