Hey, @abh12345.
Well, thank you. I didn't necessarily intend for the post to get as long as it did, though. :) I knew it had been long days, but when I recount them, I realize just how involved they were. It's a little different when you're in the moment.
re: fuming
I can't say I'm happy about it. However, it's kind of a challenge, and while the quarters end up back in the machines as I test and so forth, the other change—pennies, nickels, dimes, half dollars, dollars, and foreign coins—I get to keep.
So far, no coins from the UK, though I think I have a Euro piece in the stack. :)
re: miracle worker
Well, one of these days I hope to live up to that. As for carrying everything, it has not been possible yet. I'm hoping they'll get a location closer to home for storage. I've been told that's the intent. I was going to ask if the place in the mall they were looking at came together but didn't get the chance.
