    Havea large container of 1,2 and 5 cent coins. Any creative suggestions for their use?
    PS Is it safe to leave butter out at room temperature ffor a few days?

    Count It. Bag It. Take it to a Bank.

    Butter....was it pure liquid when you had a look at it? I wouldn't chance it.

    make a sandwich with the butter and coins, the butter should be so warm at that stage the coins will slide down very earsy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭pclancy


    erm change them into something called "notes" at a "bank" or one of those counting machines in petrol stations...

    PS yes but it might be soft.

    I always do cuz I hate when it gets too cold and rips the bread to shìt. Though I left it out on the sink during last weekend (VERY HOT WEEKEND) and when I came back and opened the tub the butter inside was nothing but pure goo. Lovely!

    Go to your local Tecso and do some shopping.
    Now go to one these new high-tech self service machines and use all your small coins.

    Warning: The customers behind you the queue are liabile to murder you.:eek:

    Do a search. There was 2 quite recent threads in AH about where to change coins.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,131 ✭✭✭subway


    surprise a beggar


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Stand on a roof top and throw the coins at people, shouting "Here you are, weary peasants!" or something similar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    As Mordeth said, make a money sandwich.

    I know you need bread, but you can make your own.
    You already have lots of dough...




    /exits in a hurry...

    Melt it down and turn it into a machie gun that shoots spare change. Now that would be cool.

    I heard mad things happen when you mix the copper coins, 1c and 2cs with butter, due to small amounts of lactic acid.

    Mix the two together, then look at all the coins and see if you notice any small change...



    (Have I gone too far?)

    Reported for that atrocious pun.

    You could always glue the lot onto the pavement and watch the commoners try and pick them up......peasants!!

    I like to use all my coppers at toll bridge / m50 tolls. I pre-count it into little bags, hand it over to the cashier and then ask for a receipt which gets converted via claimed expenses into "real" money in my paycheck.

    Eurgh, that's the most over-the-top situation anyone could do with their change. Start living in the real world man! Pffft!......count money......turn it into real money.....ha!!

    Buy new butter


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    Weigh the bag, and then eat one pound of it every minute and put the video up on YouTube!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Buy an hour with a cheapish hooker, she won't mind the coinage nor the butter smeared across her.

    Hehe. I just typoed count and it came up as ocunt. anyways, count the small change on rainy days like today. Butter should be fine, I dont leave butter in the fridge anyway. As long as it's not mankey margerine, it'll be ok.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭The tax man


    Can someone out there confirm that the banks don't charge you for cashing in bags of coins. I've nearly €400 in 10c 20c and 50c coins and I don't want them getting their grubby little hands on any of it.:D
    Don't even want to think about counting all the coppers.

    Thanks.

    USE THE BUTTER TO GREASE HER DILATED, PUCKERED AND PLIANT ANUS!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Go throw them one by one at Dave McSavage for a day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    glue all the coins together into a long rod, and then beat someone to death with it. Then disolve the glue in boiling water and spend it all to get rid of the evidence - its a victimless crime! Like to see the CSI crowd solve that...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 984 ✭✭✭NextSteps


    Spread it around a bit.

    now that is going too far.

    oh the humanity.

    i recently bagged up 30 euro worth of change and brought my mates out for a slap up meal in burgerking.

    the cashier laughed as i poured euro after euro out for her to count.

    quality.....could you suggest a type of loctite that would be easily dissolvable :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,386 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Seriously though, if you do hand it up somewhere, make sure you bag it, and make sure its clean...

    used to work in a shop, people used to regularily come in wit change lookign for notes, we didn't mind except if it wasn't bagged cos it would take ages... also dirty money sucks ass, it would look like you have got all your money by scouring the dump or the drains or something for a bit of cash...

    Been drinking much?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    Smear the change with butter and feed it to your neighbours pet dog.

    2 birds, 1 stone!

    Probably the best thing to do with it alright.
