I, and other members of my household, never, ever spend coins for anything. Anyone who comes home at the end of the day without coins of some kind in her purse gets severely scolded. Well, whined at, at least. If it costs $1.03, I pay $2.00. The change gets separated into pennies and silver, and hoarded until the 5 gallon plastic bottle is nearly full. It took me close to four years the first time, but with three of us now, it only takes about 2 (atm's have ruined this method of saving) Five gallons of silver, by the way, makes for a pretty good downpayment on a new car

Enjoyed the story in the OP quite a bit, by the way.
