What to Know About Budgets Sexy
Haha… Now don’t get me wrong, I find it both hilarious AND entertaining as I get to then learn about all this new stuff they send me, but jeez - it’s just so random? I had gone in to grab a handful of $1 gold coins like those Sacajaweas and presidential dollars, and when I got them handed over to me I see that one of them stood out and was most DEF not a dollar coin.
Worth noting: it was that guardian angel one up there in the pic and I was like, “Umm…. are you sure this is a dollar?” Haha… The teller took a few seconds to comprehend it, and replies back with, “Oh my! Can I just keep it?
How Budgets Sexy Really Works
More importantly, i wish to research and see what the heck it is.” “Oh, sure. Yes by all means.
But here - let me provide you a replacement coin anyways so we don’t cheat you out of a dollar.” Win-win! I then promptly jumped on the computer to figure out what my new treasure was, and if on the off chance it was worth something significant :) Unfortunately it wasn’t worth that much monetarily wise (you can pick them up for a couple bucks on eBay), but it was cool learning that it was a guardian angel coin.
Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy
Remember that the whole day I kept it in my pockets feeling solid that I was being more protected, and it totally made my weekend :) And now it lies with my other coins in my cigar box just chillin’ and protecting over all them, hehe… You don’t see that each day! But the best part?
That highly next day (Sunday) I was at church and guess what the sermon was about?? And how we all have them and it’s key to remember they’re there for us - What are the odds???
Tips That Make a Difference
As a rule, i mean, for real? Was that meant to be or was that meant to be?
Case #2: The Panamanian Balboa Coin After my experience with the angel coin, I thought I’d go back to this same mom and pop bank (my new favorite!!) and get some more rolls to look through and add to my Whitman coin folders I’m trying to complete. I got one quarter roll, two dime rolls, and one penny roll.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In short, in one of the dime rolls I found a British 5 Pence coin - I guess cuz it’s similar in size and shape to the dime? - and then in the quarter roll I found a NICKEL?? Wtf?? Haha… BUT, before I considered going back and complaining cuz now I’m out 30 cents right from the get go (10 since of the pence, and now 20 due to the nickel swapped out for a quarter), I found one more surprise in that quarter roll: A 1996 Panamanian Balboa coin!
Just like the dime, it’s super similar in size and weight/etc, so it’s straightforward to see how it got confused as a quarter if you’re not paying attention much. Which this bank is of course NOT, man.
Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?
Worth noting: unlike the bigger ones who apply machines to roll up and sort their coins, these guys obviously do not ;) But that’s the reason I love them so much too - they hand roll all their change! Imagine if I went each week getting some change?
I might just have to make it more of a habit… I lose money each time, but you at no point know what I might find, haha… I’m gonna go again this weekend and try and make it three for three :) Wish me luck! Have you guys ever received anything funky in your change??
Where the Real Savings Hide
More importantly, or from your own favorite banks? You wanna join me on an error finding quest over the weekend? ;)Let’s see who can find the craziest aspects from our banks! , , , , - PS: When I posted that Balboa coin on Facebook, one of my friends told me she can make a necklace out of it for me and I’m totally taking her up on it!
I mailed her the coin and now just waiting for it to be put together and shipped back… You at no point know what can come out of this stuff! (Visited 12 times, 1 visits right now) Get blog posts automatically emailed to you!
