So, I always collect quarters to exchange for dollar bills with my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker, since she needs quarters for the washer and drier in the apartment where she lives.
And, not only do I always collect quarters and keep them in stacks of 4 on my kitchen counter until I have accumulated around $5 that I can give her, but now I go out of my way to create change combinations that will give me quarters back.
Like, if I'm doing a transaction at a store and I owe them like something plus eighty-five cents, I'll slide them an extra dime, so that they give me back a quarter in change that I can then go and keep for her.
The other week, too, I had to print out something at the local library, and when I dug in my pocket, I not only had the exact change for the fifteen cents that it cost to print, but I also had five spare dimes, so I fed them in the change machine, too, hoping that when it refunded my unused money that I had inserted, it would convert those extra five dimes into two quarters.
Which it did!
