Time to embrace the change, and when I say change, I mean pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars and those 18 Sacagaweas the Metro Gold Line dispensed after you had the gall to pay for your train ticket with a twenty dollar bill.
I’m kind of into alternative forms of currency myself, and am a proud member of the Echo Park Time Bank, an excellent way to save your shekels, rethink the modus operandi of currency and buying stuff, and also you get to meet really great people! Check it out, come to one of our potlucks, maybe you’ll want to join our groovy group of time bankers!
But I digress.
You still need a place for all those heavy coins!
Look no further, we’ve got the answer, with a foam-tastic lace-up coin purse craft! At approximately 4″ x 3 5/8″, this little mini pouch will keep your minted metal circles from rolling down the street. You shall be poised and ready for any parking meter or gumball machine that may materialize during your everyday excursions.
It should be known that the Fabulous Foam Lacing Coin Purse Advisory Board (FFLCPAB) does not recommend using these coin purses in an especially extreme way. While these purses are expected to hold a decent amount of change or bills, the pouch itself is primarily FOAM. With enough stress or overuse, your coin purse could possibly unravel or break … sending your hard-earned currency into complete disarray.
As long as you go into the whole thing knowing this, you should be fine.
See you at the Craft Table!
