I just don’t carry change anymore. Stopped taking pennies on New Years Day 2001; stopped taking nickels in 2005, stopped taking dimes last year. Total cost to me is probably under $10 per year.

Quarters go in a little rubber change purse in my car console, for parking meters.

But who handles cash these days anyway? Even McDonalds, my barber, and finally the pollo stand on Lee Highway gave in and started accepting credit cards.

Opened up a whole free pocket for the Kel-Tec.
