 I have a confession. I own a little hand made leather coin purse & I love using it.

Since I stopped using my credit card for cash, I became overwhelmed with coins.

Now it's like a game to be able to get rid of all my accumulated coins.

If I can offload some coins onto a shop, it's a win. If I can produce the exact amount required, it's a perfect score. If I forget my little purse or don't have a decent selection loaded, I lose points.

Looking forward to when I can pay for most stuff with Bitcoin. Until then, I have my little coin purse to keep me happy.

 It’s amazing! 
 Just spent 2 weeks travelling in Asia where it’s all cash txs, they hyperinflated past coins years ago so just notes. Was carrying 3 different currencies in my trusty SatckSats wallet, ended up gifting the Opendime to a tour guide / driver who looked after us for 4 days.

I get why cashmaxis still value physical MoE. Asian cultures even have specific etiquette for handing over cash, like it’s embedded for them. There’s something more personal in that settlement than tapping a phone on a terminal.

Anyway I’ve still got a few of these handmade leather wallets for sale, down to just 69k Sats now Inc postage!

 Yeah just came back from Thailand. They have 10  baht coins before they jump to 20 baht notes. 

I used to empty my days accumulated coins out in the garden under my villa for the gardener to find.

I don't remember being so aware of the layers of slavery as I was on that trip. It was my first OS trip since discovering Bitcoin. 
 I like giving zoomers more cash than the total (like 1.20 for a 0.95 charge) and watching their heads explode. "This is too much" is the usual answer. I'm also getting rich off of incorrect change back. 
 Haha

I just had one announce the total as $26.43.

We don't have 1 & 2 ¢ coins here any more (the copper was worth more than the coin) so it's impossible to pay the 3¢ with cash.

They couldn't understand why I was laughing.

I always manage to offload more coins onto a boomer. I swear millennials don't even count the coins. 😆 
 How many bitcoin can you fit in there? 
 As many as you've got to send me 😉 
 In South Africa, we keep coins for car guards, petrol attendants, and the unlimited wave of street beggers. If you have too many on hand, consider giving 💯 
 I live in rural Australia & rarely venture into the cities these days.

I tend to do this when I'm traveling though. 
 Love this 

I am an Apple pat addict 

Worst fo the worst when it comes to digital footprint probably 

One can always work on different areas! 
 It took me over a year to fully break my iOS addiction.

It's up there with crack cocaine. 
 Switched to graphene ? 
 Calyx first because they had better Ux at the time & then Graphene later.

I really love Graphene but it took some time to get used to.

 Yeah Creed is gay.

The coin purse is different.

 I value our friendship so either I convince you or I get a matching item.  🤭
