RANKFORT, Ind. — Paul Brant considers himself a penny pincher, but his savings in quarters and dollar coins really paid off.

Brant, 70, used more than $25,000 in change to help buy a new Dodge Ram half-ton pickup truck Friday — 13 years after buying another truck with spare change.

I have always put my spare change in jars, but never come close to saving this amount. Guess I should quit digging out the quarters for personal use. :wah:

That is a cool story.

WOW! And they let him get away with that?? I'm surprised, cause most places wrinkle their nose when you buy a pack of gum with change. That's very cool.

Coins do add up don't they? My wife has been saving loose change for years evey time she recieves it back from cashiers. So every few months for the past 6 or 7 years it actually adds up to a few hundred dollars. And then she adds it to her bankroll when we go to the Casinos, & it's like found money!

Money is money coins are money also. Bravo for him he paid cash for his new vehical.

So did I, but I used a cashier's check, I found it much easier!!!

Good on him, money's money no matter how it comes.

I save all my spare change, I cash it in twice yearly and it amounts to about £600.

i just wonder how heavy all that was, how they carried it in there, and how long it took to count it all!

It really does add up. In two days we have raised over €10,000 for our charity by

volunteers looking for donations outside local supermarkets. About 70% of the funds raised were all from change.

fantastic story better then the banks charging for putting so much cash in.

I think pennies should be reused to make copper wires.
