In years past I have funded guns in the same manner. I had a bucket, a bowl, a basket and a couple of other containers at different times, and every evening my pocket change went in it, and when the time came it got sorted and counted and deposited. Of course now that the banks don't take loose change, or have coin sorters for the public, the sorting is a little tougher, but my bride bought me a couple of different sorters over the years and I roll and deposit now.XDSConcealer wrote:So I recently bought a M&P Shield for my wife which is going to serve as her conceal carry. However, when we recently went shooting with our very own Charles Cotton, she was an unbelievable shot with his 1911. So I was justified in getting a 1911, finally. In the past my wife has balked at the cost of 1911's but now that she enjoyed shoot one as well I was given the okay to purchase one.I laughed at the green light because I never say a word when she buys a $400 pair of shoes that go with one outfit, but I digress.
So while I was doing my research on 1911's and the various manufactures of said gun I glanced over at this large jug of change I have collected over the years. Whenever I go out of town on business, I always throw my coins into this jug upon my return. I never gave it much thought but today with the notion of spending a considerable amount of money on another gun I figured, what the heck, let's see how much is in this jug. Well, after counting it and putting it in rolls, I have over HALF the cost of the gun I want in change! Now I'm not going to buy the gun with a jug full of change (I will however deposit it), but it got me thinking, has anyone else come up with an unorthodox way of funding a purchase?
