Goodbye…coin tower

I have finally decided to take down my beloved coin tower and throw it into the bank. It is a sad day for the coin tower has been with me for many years, fought many room-quakes and breath-storms, never once toppled. The only effect anything had on it was probably my sub-woofer, through endless poundings of heavy bass of my devastating J-rock tracks, the 2 dollar tips would seldomly fall down one at a time. But other than that, I can convincinly say it was truly an engineering marvel, one that I can truly be proud of.

Standing above all, my coin tower defended by none other than Alteisen and Strike Freedom gundam…and trunks.

Taken apart and reorganised, I was overwhelmed by the amount of coins. This process took a ‘few’ hours as I had to count them as well.

Here are some interesting stats:

5c coins – 256

10c coins – 451

20c coins – 652

50c coins – 318

$1 coins – 282

$2 coins – 166

Total $ value = $911.80

Total weight = 15kg

Total height of tower = roughly 50cm

However, it’s legacy lives on. I have only deposited everything but 5c and 10c’s. From that I created a mini twin tower that’s protected by my dragonball figurines…and trunks standing on the bridge! =D

Hail to the twin coin tower!
