    It has to be something with ebay (Shawn's thang) and something associated with quarters.

    Sounds like someone has already thought of what they'd do if they had $2000 of quarters ;)

    Step 1. Go out and buy a container in which to put the 50 state quarters. Place one of each of the ones minted in it to remember your great quarter caper.

    Step 2. Thats up to you. My way of saying I am idealess.

    yep! You can buy your way into any one of the charity events they have! I don't think the info for events is online, but it's definitely a possibility. I have a few friends that have been there for free and the next time someone goes and tells me about it afterwards I'm going to shoot. It's not so bad when a hot girl gets invited to a party, but when a guy gets to go there for no reason other than he happened to be in the right place at the right time...

    They haven't finished making the 50 state quarters yet have they? But even if they had, I'm not so sure I want to try and find one of each in that pile. hehe

    You know, talking bout Vegas, I personally would just take the 10 members with the most posts and we all use the slot-machine til the quarters are gone, and whatever we win will go to charity ;)

    I say put it in a bag, walk around until you see a busker singing and pour the entire contents of the bag out infront of him.

    OR OR OR come to Holland and we'll go get drunk, and put quaters in stripper's G Strings.

    but if im in the top 10 members with most posts then I like Mike's idea. :D

    Well,one of the reasons wel left San Diego was there are way too many homeless people. Maybe you can donate the money to a good program.:)

    or.....................

    If all else fails cash it in for dollar bills and go to the strip clubs. :p

    Ok, I would like to suggest the Cat Network. When the word "charity" comes up, most everyone thinks of the homeless or the poor. Animals need our help too and this organization actively goes out and rescues cats that have been abandoned and forgotten. Most impressively, they have a senior program whereby they cover the cost of all veterinary services for the cats they place with seniors so the senior does not have to worry about vet bills cutting into their already meager income. Right now, they have about 160 cats in this program and they can really use the funds. One of my cats is a Cat Network rescued cat and I only wish more folks out there would consider adopting older animals. They have just as much love and affection to give and they would like to have a home too.

    I'll cover the cost of mailing the quarters if you don't want to convert them to cash.

    If you have some way of getting ahold of a bunch of poor kids, you could throw a party for them, and then one of the activities would be go out into the forest and find money. Before hand, you would rake up the leaves in a small area of the forest and then scatter the quarters around and cover them with the leaves. That would be pretty fun, but then I guess you would be teaching them to be greedy heh.

    Ok Shawn,

    Since you like the Germany idea I did a bit more research for you. You'll be leaving 8/10 & returning on 8/16.

    Cheapest Price:
    $1192 (2 stops)

    Shortest Flight:
    $1311 (1 stop-Atlanta)

    Both are Economy/Coach options... sadly your quarters will not get you there First Class (~$8000)

    Sample Flight for you:
    ================
    Going There:
    San Diego, CA (SAN) to
    Stuttgart, Germany (STR)
    connects in Chicago, IL
    and London, UK (hang out with UK DP'ers)

    American Airlines = 2 Stops
    Flight 1426 / 66 / 6637
    22h 57m
    Departs: 9:58a
    Arrives: 5:55p

    Going Home:
    Stuttgart, Germany (STR) to
    San Diego, CA (SAN)
    connects in London, United Kingdom
    and Los Angeles, CA

    American Airlines = 2 Stops
    Flight 6638 / 135 / 3095
    17h 35m
    Departs: 11:25a
    Arrives: 8:00p

    Except I have around 400,000 frequent flier miles which comes in really handy for free upgrades. ;)

    You should go to a store where you need to buy something high end that costs like $1,500 and whip out your quarters and start counting them at the counter to pay for it. :)

    Very cool... from the look of the website they must have a pretty impressive showroom over there.

    I worked at an electronics store a long time ago and had a guy buy a $300 video card that way... I hated that guy.
