Like a lot of people, I decided a few years ago to keep my change in a little dish... well it outgrew the dish to a bowl, then it outgrew the bowl into a pot. Then I decided to only put quarters in it. So now just the quarters have outgrown the pot, and I don't really feel like "upgrading" my storage space. So I just now dumped them out on my living room and took a picture so you guys can see how many there are (it's more than it looks, because it's actually a mount, not spread out). I'm not sure exactly how many there are, but it's a whole lot (probably around 100 pounds [a little under 50 kilos for the international folk]). Anyway, now I need suggestions on what to spend the quarters on, so be creative with the ideas.
I thought for a tiny moment there you were talking in our currency(pounds). You should give it all to charity you rich fat cat
Charity is an option I suppose, but man... I had to lug these things around, so would be better to give other money to charity. BTW, I calculated it based on weight... if it's 100 pounds worth, it would be about $2,000 USD.
You should go down to an antique store, buy one of those glass 5 gallon water cooler bottles. Try to fill it up with quarters. Don't cheat, just do it with the change you get from fast food or whatever. It takes a lot longer than you'd think Looking at the pile, that'd fill it up less than 1/4 of the way.
Based on the size of the pot they came from (which is more than a gallon), it's probably a little more than 1/4 of one of those. But I don't want them anymore.
Do u want to spend or donate it? If you decide to spend, just give a ring to your friends ..Fix a place full of high trees (may be a forest). Give them a beer party. If you decide to donate. Choose a good orphanage and donate it.
Dat's a lot of quarters! Not sure what you should spend it on. Just deposit them or give it to poor people. I have three five gallon jugs full of pennies! Two people can barely move one of them. When I was little I thought I could cause a penny shortage.
Have a contest where people guess how much money it is all together and they have to spend $10 to enter it. Whoever is closest, will win the pot and all the money from the contest goes to charoty.
You guys really are not very creative. I give enough money to charity, plus I'm sure they would rather get a check than a bunch of quarters.
Yeah, we do... but what's a chew? And then what? Post a thread asking for suggestions on what to do with my 200,000 chews?
Wow... I wish I'd read your 2nd post before I started counting all those Shawn... Creative ideas... hmmm. Idea 1: I think you should buy as many Powerballs as you can and give away one a week/month for best contribution to the forum. Though that may take too much work. Idea 2: Fly to Germany to hand pick the equipment for your new house's home automation. Idea 3: Get a really big wall fountain for your new house.
Or you could start a competition of table football with 8000 entrants. You have a knockout system where every winner of the knockout wins the quarter. The final winner will have won a nice little sum of quarters. It's all in the name of being popular lol
A few suggestions: 1) Used slot machine or arcade game 2) trip to vegas 3) cool new video camera 4) take them to a strip club 5) a set of truck nuts (viewer beware) 6) convert them to pennies, then send them over to Winn and Sims to pay off someone's supposed debt. 7) get slob-knobbering drunk playing quarters. 8) a segway - you know you want one 9) forget the segway, get a parapropter! 10) buy yourself an invite to a party at the playboy mansion, but only if wiggles can come too.
