There was a story in Chicago newspapers some years back, of a man who went to buy a new pick-up truck-with Quarters

(now 4 quarters go to 1 dollar) Quarters he was saving for over 20 years,...new pick-up costs over 12,000 dollars, so he had to haul all those coins on his old pick-up truck

imagine all the hassle & time the truck dealer had to count ALL those coins

....but the frugal guy still got his new pick-up.
