Isolation Thought

I have loads of change laying around the house. Not a penny here, a quarter there. I mean a ton of it. I just opened a desk drawer and there could easily be $400 (lots rolled, some in bags) in it. I've never tried a Coinstar machine before. It looks safe, I just think people have a tendency to look dumb using it. My dumb look ranks with the best, so maybe I should give it a try. My vision of this exercise always ends with me breaking the machine with the odd Canadian penny or two, and of course, they don't exactly place these in a corner. It's right out there, so everyone can see you. If I do it, I'll buy the next round.
