Thus change (i.e. quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies, centimes, pesos, decimos, lira, shillings, markas, francs etc.) that is left lying around on the sideboard, dining room table, kitchen table, floor, desk, chairs, or stuck to the ceiling with pieces of spaghetti will be confiscated and put here:
Folding money will not fall under this statute, but if it clinks, jingles or rolls when dropped, it is subject to sudden and unexpected confiscation. (The little pile of quarters and pennies on the sideboard that was buried under .6 inches of noxious dust is already gone.)
Thus if you wish your metallic hoard to not join the one I am collecting to pay for food for camp, keep it in your pocket, purse or bedroom.
Thank you,
The management
Do let us know how this policy works.
ReplyDeleteI would be including the folding money too, if it's left around where I can find it, it's mine!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJan, I will do so; it has already netted me a couple bucks
ReplyDeleteloubob, lol I thought about it, but I will start with the coins and see what happens.
Hmm. I think you're working on some vacation money there! LOL! I do the same thing with my crew. Have had a couple of nice dinners out on them. :)

AMWD, Thanks for visiting and taking time to comment. I just got sick of dusting around the same little pile of change for months....so I confiscated it. Glad to hear from another upstate blogger!
ReplyDeleteDo include the folding money if you find it - finders keepers!
ReplyDeleteMaddening. This is exactly why I placed three containers at strategic places around the house: kitchen, office and bedroom dresser. These are coin 'safe' zones:0)
ReplyDeleteUmmm. Does a collection of Canadian pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters, Loonies, two dollar coins and ten dollars in paper money collected in an old Arizona Iced Tea bottle on the dining room table fall under this statute?
ReplyDeleteLaurainnj, I may graduate to that but usually it is just the boss who leaves that lying around...no point in taking his as we just pass it back and forth all the time.
ReplyDeletecathy...I think I would probably have to cover every surface in the house with containers to have any effect. Confiscation is really fun though. I have netted at least $1.50 today, even after everyone was informed of the new statute.
Annon....not yet, but you had better be careful with your Canadian dough...you just never know.
That pig is full already!
ReplyDeletehey you gave me more than half of it.. cope if i don't have it there you'd be finding loose Canadian change all over the place as is it's nicely collected and contained.
