Coin Counting Jar

[coryg]

Anyone ever use these? If so, what are your thoughts? Also since it does not turn off, how long do the batteries usually last?

I would need the giant economy size jar and an electric plug in.

coryg,

My father gave me one many years ago. The battery's lasted about 15 years before I changed them. It is handy to know how much change is there.

There nifty but I like the surprise

mine couldn't fit halves, and found it to be not so accurate on reading dimes vs. pennies.. gave up on it eventually.

I did notice that with pennies that had chunks taken out of them. They were the ones that registered as dimes due to their reduced size.

I have an earlier version. A fishbowl, pencil, and paper. :-)
