You know... if you take 100 pennies, you can exchange it for a dollar.

Which isn't worth either carrying them until I have that many or the trip to the bank

It's a waste of my time and focus

Why...would you carry them around? Just dump them into a jar when you get home, when its full take it to a bank and dump it into a coin counter machine.

As I stated that's a waste of time and energy

I'm glad that works for you, it doesn't for me. This isn't a debate
