Money Exchange in Kzoo

12 August 2011

As I settle into my parent's house in my old room, I'm finding there are a lot of ... things... that have collected here over the last ten years.  Things from High School (class pins, awards).  Twirling (I boxed most of my trophies up over Christmas, but a few medals and trophies remain, along with baton tips and twirling bags...).  Teaching (yep, my classroom collection of books are definitely taking over every available shelf.)  And missions.  (Pictures, pictures, more pictures... wall hangings, etc.)

I've also found a lot of coins.  After being all over the place these past few months, I've had a lot of random coins jingling around in my purse recently.  (Imagine going into Michael's to buy a $1.00 stamp, and pulling out 200 Tanzanian Shillings, then a 5 cent Euro coin, all in a quest to find an American quarter!)  In my quest to organize, I started an envelope system to keep track of it all.  (And since I actually will be going back to a lot of these places, it was worth holding on to them.)  I just didn't know how far it was going to go!

Granted, many of these have just a few coins.  But it's kind of amazing to see the variety of coins from around the world!

(Since this, I've added another envelope for PNG, and another for "random."  I could probably find some Australian coins around here, too, to add to the collection.)

So if you're traveling any time soon, don't bother going to the ridiculous money exchange places that rip you off.  Just come on down to Kzoo and I'll cut you a great deal on getting the cash you might need!
