Have you notice a growing line these days at the coin exchange machine in your local supermarket?
I could not help but notice a line of adults at the machine while shopping on yesterday.
This scene triggered some memories of a few year ago. I had used penny collecting as a means of teaching my youngest daughter a keen life lesson. I wanted to teach her the discipline of patience to under gird her emotional intelligence development.
.
I would give her all of my pennies. Every few months, we would go to the coin machine and, wah lah!, her diligence and savings turn into a receipt that became $10! She could use this money to invest in a personal item.
.
Overtime she badgered me for nickels, and dimes, but I stuck to my guns, and she had to live within the limits of the power of the penny. She does know how to pinch a penny , I just wished her college education could be measured in those terms.
.
Folks are using all their imagination to make even the penny count. Take a look and see if you agree.
