A Great Product for Light to Moderate Coin Sorting
I used to collect "left-over" change at the end of the day and take the coins to my local bank two or three times a year. Then, my bank got rid of the coin sorting machine. These plastic counters make a great modification for me. I still have to sort the coins on a table - which can be a fun job while watching television or listening to music. Then, these counters will measure the right number of coins for each paper sleeve. The rolled coins then go to the bank. It is actually a lot of fun putting the coins in the counters, shaking the excess coins out, and slipping the paper sleeves (from the bank) over the roll while still in the plastic counter. If I had to do that as a job - every day - my mind would rapidly leave me for a better owner. However, as an occasional activity, it is fun. I like the personal touch instead of handing over a bag full of coins to a teller at the bank. The price is reasonable and you end up feeling very righteous for not paying the coin counting robots.

Frank Sinatra? You Are Not Kidding.
2 of 2 found this helpful My 12 year old granddaughter re-focused me onto Frank Sinatra. I had heard the music and the stories, and enjoyed many of the songs. But, I had pretty much put him aside for listening. When visiting with grandkids, Frank was heard. I assumed the radio but no--a CD. He is a favorite singer for my 12 year old granddaughter. I decided to buy this set based on her love of Sinatra. It is a great collection of music and a wonderful window into the man and the times. The accompaning booklet gives backgrounds to some of the songs. Some have not been released before and some are rare recordings.
Every now and then you need to exmine your biases. Thanks to the innocence of a pre-teen, my biases in music have decreased a bit. Listen to this with "modern" ears and you will get real quality of voice control and technical excellence. Then you hear the emotion and affect of the singer. Put them together and Frank is someone who transcends time.
