aggienaut So today I collected all the coins off my desk, floor and took them to the local coinstar machine.
The total weight of coins was 19 pounds.
1161 pennies ($11.61)
304 nickels ($15.20)
392 dimes ($39.20)
500 quarters ($125)
Total: $191.01
Coinstar machine took about $16
Additionally I have a pile of coins I've accumulated over the past year from the UK, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, & Spain.
Hope everyone had a delightful New Years, I spent mine with the crews of five tallships, on the tallship Tole Mour, watching fireworks over the Queen Mary.

BTW I think it is really cool that you have crewed a sailing vessel, and think it just too bad that they didn't take you out on the water. Graveyard of the Pacific my ass. Take her around the horn before you call yourself a sailor. But that's not your fault.
