Electric coin sorters from $1.50 at Staples B&M

[Rally1]

Electric coin sorters, they seem to work fine.

big was $25 now $2.50 item # 082382048757

small was $15 now $1.50 item # 082382062005

Each take 2 C batteries.

As with any clearance items YMMV, but they had a whole stack of them at my local store, plus you have to beat the f@twallet people there

Thanks Rally, believe it or not I have been waiting for one of these to go cheap.

Just happened upon them last night, seems like some stores have them, and alot dont.


Also they were not on the shelf with other similar products they were in a separate display in the same aisle .

I used one of these once...

*sigh*

It was 1997. I had been collecting change for about 3 1/2 years, and happened across one of these cheap in an office supply store. Not a national chain store, but just a random "we got office sh*t" store. Thinking it would be easier to sort my massive amount of change with mechanical help, I bought it.

Later that night I took one of several "bags o' change" and began to sort it into the machine. Everything went fine for about the first thirty dollars, and then...

A horrific noise emanated from the machine. Like the screams of demons and seizing motors. Next thing I know, there was a blinding flash of light. I don't remember much after that, since I woke up in the hospital an indeterminate amount of time later. Turns out, the damned thing seized up and exploded, sending my hard-saved pocket change shooting out like shrapnel from an anti-personnel mine, eliminating all living things within a 50 yard circular radius. That goddamned thing killed my dog and guinea pig.

I returned home after the hospital discharged me a week later to find my house a vacant lot - as in nothing had ever been built there. Best I can figure is the thing was so evil, when it exploded it created a quantum singularity and swallowed my entire house up into some parallel dimension. I don't know why the spawn of Satan's accountant spared my life, but that assh*le is about 790 dollars richer, since he took my f'in change.

Sufficed to say, I count my change by hand now.
