The financial wizards here at SC6 have made a phenomenal discovery - one that you can take advantage of, and make literally an amazing 2500% instantly!! Sounds too good to be true?? It is !
Okay, it is true, but it is a bit hard to take advantage of. Here is the discovery... At work, the technicians often jokingly ask for money - 'Hey Mike, gimme a 20" is the usual. So, I would break out my leftover Ukrainian change and give them 20 kopecks in different denominations. The exchange rate is 1 dollar for 5 hryvnia, and change is the same in cents to kopecks, so 20 kopecks is about 4 cents... Whoopee!! Well, here is the kicker..
On the Left is a 5 Kopeck Coin, On the Right is a US Quarter
Looks pretty similar, eh? Well, I had noticed it for a while, and finally a technician asked me today.... "Try the pistachio machine, and see if it works". Well, apparently it does, so you can use a 5 Kopeck piece instead of a Quarter. Using the conversion, the 5 Kopeck is equal to 1 cent.
Think about it...... You can get a boat load of these coins, and then use them anywhere a quarter is accepted. One cent working in place of 25 cents is a 2500% return on investment !! Granted, you can only take advantage of it at vending machines, car washes, and maybe a Coinstar machine. Still, how cool would you feel paying 4 cents for a Coke, or 8 cents for a Car Wash??
If you thought that my ideas for saving money to offset high gas prices was cool, get a duffel bag full of Kopecs - and take advantage of my genius !
Although Mr. Reino has a BA Degree in Economics, he puts it to very little use. Therefore, following any financial advice he gives should be taken with a grain of salt. In real terms, only an idiot would try to stick foreign currency in a vending machine - even if it does work.
