Man buys car with loose change

Tweet

Earlier this week on MSN.com, there was a story about a man who bought a car with loose change. He had been accumulating his loose change until now and used the money to buy a car. Critics say he could have earned interest on the loose change by bundling it up and putting it in the bank, but let's face it, unless you open up an account where only the loose change goes in and you don't touch it, any loose change will be co-mingled with your expense money. When I heard this, I thought it was a novel way to save for a new car, or even the down payment for a home. Personally, I can't do this - I have a tendency to roll up my excess coins and deposit them at the bank.
