You know, I don't use cash that much!

Over the past week or so since I've been back at work I've realized that I just don't tend to spend cash that often, at least when I'm working. Actually, I find I mostly just buy gas for the drive and for that a debit card is the most convenient thing going. I take my lunches from home and don't shop. Perhaps that is why after a week and a half all I have in my pocket is 57 cents in change.

I did get a couple of state quarters. These are circulating everywhere so it is not really a surprise. What was a surprise is finding a Denver mint Ohio quarter. I don't see a lot of these from the Denver mint here in the northeast. I also got a South Carolina P mint, a 1990 nickle, and a pair of zinc cents from 1983 and 1999. The best use I've ever seen these zinc things used for is when my daughter dissolved the zinc out of a couple and turned the copper skin into earrings!

Well that's about it for today. I'll try to make a point of spending some cash this weekend, who knows what may turn up in my pocket change.
