I just ran a bucket full of change through a CoinStar machine today, and went with the Amazon.com gift certificate option so I didn't have to pay that evil 8.9 cents per dollar "counting fee". I like buying stuff from Amazon, but I'm feeling indecisive about what I should buy right now.

At first, I thought that I should get a new cell phone. It seems that I can't get a really good one (like a Treo) for that price without signing up for one of those infamous two year service contract extensions. I also wanted a 512 MB Transflash (MicroSD) memory upgrade for my GPS, but it seems that Amazon doesn't have any in stock yet. I'd also like an XBox 360 Platinum, but I'm about $130 short for that.

So... Anyone else have some good ideas? Besides giving it to you, that is :)

I already got a 30GB iPod Photo this year, so I'm not ready to upgrade yet.

A Dewalt Cordless drill would be awesome, though!

Yeah, it's a LOT of change. I weighed it before I left, and it came out to 30 pounds! A lot of it was pennies, too, which is why I REALLY didn't want to hand wrap all of them.

I'd sell your 30gb photo on eBay (they probably fetch a great price), and get a 30 or 60 gb video. Seriously, I'm in love w/ my 30gig black 5g ipod

I did that once. I felt like a fool doing it. People in the market were staring at me :(.
