A great coin saver

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Hardware and Gadget Features

We’ve heard stories of moms having a jar hidden somewhere out of site. She would always put in loose coins in there so that she’d have something to pull out say for quick change or to tip the pizza guy. But somehow, if you’re mom is like mine :), instead of pulling out those coins, she’d still use those she would pull out from under the couch cushion or under the chair, above the counter or on the fridge. She’d say that well, I know there’s about $4 worth of coins there, so let me get that instead.

Well, with this coin saving jar, I’m sure mom will always look to put those nickels and pennies where it should be… in the jar. This has a battery powered counting system that you push everytime you put in or take out a coin. Neat eh? I hope in the future, as a development from this model, we’d have a model you can teach to count coins as they all come in.

This is available here for about $20.

GTbyCITROËN: Where Real And Virtual Meet

It’s not often that a car is made especially for a game - which makes the GTbyCITROEN really rather special indeed. It is by no means a standard production car anyway, but this amazingly futuristic vehicle only exists in virtual space so far. It is going to be available for download for the [...]
