If you are a penny, then you are checked to see if you are a "special" penny (i.e. Lincoln designs, Wheat, US shield, etc). If you are a "special penny", then you go in the "special change" jar. If you are not a "special penny", then you go to the Whitman water bottle (which I keep in honor of DJ Whitman, who has passed on, but who always had loose change in his room that he gave to the youngest in the family -- I collect the pennies and give them to the youngest Whitman every 10-15 years when the water bottle gets full).
If you are a nickle, then you are checked to see if you are a "special" nickle (i.e. Louis and Clark, Buffalo, etc.). If you are a "special nickle", then you go in the "special change" jar. If you are not a "special nickle", then you go to the thingy on the bar for change to be used to buy the paper each day.
If you are a dime, then you are automatically deemed to be boring, and you go straight to the thingy on the bar for change to be used to buy the paper each day.
If you are a quarter, then you are checked to see if you are a "special" quarter (i.e. 50 States Series 1, 50 States Series 2, Bicentennial, etc.). If you are a "special quarter", then you go in the holding box for "special quarters". If you are not a "special quarter" then you go in the Princess House candy dish, where you will be used for laundry in the machines in the basement of the apartment building. Once every other month, the holding box is emptied out to check its contents against the "special quarter" collector's books that I have. If you are needed, you go into a book. If you are not needed, then you go to the Princess House candy dish, where you will be used for laundry in the machines in the basement of the apartment building. Every so often, a few of you quarters will escape the confines of the apartment, and will end up in the car's CD holder, to be used for parking meters, but that's a rare occurrence.
If you are any other coin (i.e. Half Dollar, Presidential Dollar, Sacajawea Dollar, Susan B Anthony Dollar, etc.), then you head immediately to the "special change" jar.
[NOTE -- In the case of an apocalypse (brought on by Armageddon or zombies or any other kind), the "special change" jar may be melted down and used to barter for supplies.]
Do you mean to tell me that everybody doesn't have a similar thought pattern/flow chart when it comes to loose change? I mean it may look like I have a half dozen different landing places for my coinage, but trust me folks, there's a process at play here, so do NOT send the little white men in coats for me please (well, at least not yet -- not until you gather more proof)!
