Counting Quarters

See the intensity? This is no job for the innattentive. My guys are counting and rolling quarters, thank you very much. And they are using Benny's prized coin rolling machine. You drop in the coins, it sorts them into the appropriate funnel, and out they come in neat wrappers.
Marty keeps a jar of change on the dresser, and every so often he gets it out and he and Benny count up and roll the change. Benny enjoys it and so do I. I think it appeals to his math sense and his desire to sort things out and see them organized. He is a most focused man when he's on the job.
And for the record, we ended up with forty dollars in quarters!

I used to LOVE rolling coins. Especially pennies...seeing the huge mound of change end up in neat and tidy rolls.
Did you tell Benny "back in my day we didn't have fancy coin rolling machines. We had to line them up, and one by one put them in the holder. Sometimes they got up on their side and you had to start over." We had it rough!
