Cracking the Bank (June 12)

At the beginning of the semester I purchased a piggy bank to store all my coins because I realized how much more valuable coins are here then they are back at home. I decided that I would empty my change every day/week into the piggy bank just to see how much I could save. I was really good in the beginning because I also to cash out so I paid in cash and would get change back. After New Zealand I was not as good but I still got a lot of change. I decided it was finally time to crack open the piggy bank and see how much I had saved.
When I bought the piggy bank I did not pay much attention to how I would get into it/open. Now wanting to get into it I realized this metal piggy bank had not opening or way to get in. Minna and I got creative with the kitchen appliance and went at it to try and open this thing. After some time Minna was finally able to get it open enough for me to pour the coins out. I ended up having $67 of change, Not bad for just throwing coins in a jar for a few months, wish I was a bit better with putting coins in after I got back from NZ but I am not complaining I'll take the $67.
