What do I do with all the coins? PDF Print E-mail
Dear Janine:

I’m inundated with coins!!! What do I do with all these coins? I have a huge jar full of them and the bank won’t take them!

            -Lorie, Nevada 

This question shows how the Universe was flowing money into this family’s life. They were being swamped in coinage and didn’t know what to do. Upon further questioning I asked Lorie what she meant about the bank wouldn’t take the coins. It seems the bank would take the coins but you had to have them rolled/wrapped and have your account number on them. 

I then stated what I thought was the obvious, “Well, wrap your coins and do the 60/40 Principle to them.” I thought Lorie was going to melt on to the floor. She had just had her 5th child and was in no mood to wrap coins. What amazed me was the response of the group I was talking to. They all started giving her time and energy saving ideas on how to wrap all the coins without her having to do the work! Here were a few of the suggestions: 

  1. Find a grocery store that has a coin counting machine and run your jars of coins through it.
  2. Buy a battery operated coin counter and dump your change in it! (These usually run from $19.95-$24.95)
  3. Pay your kids 10% of the loot to wrap the coins.
  4. Pay a neighbor kids to warp coins.
 
The point is this. When you start operating the 60/40 Principle the Universe its going to give you money, but who knows what form it may come in? If it comes in coins, whatever you do, keep the stuff moving. Don’t allow money to sit. You want your money to work for you in investments or a savings account earning compound interest. Don’t let it wallow in a jar because you don’t want to wrap it. Find a way to keep the flow of money streaming into your life!
