I can tell you that one full of pennies only will be at least $500--possibly more.<BR/><BR/>At one school where I worked we did a "Change for Change" fund raiser. Each class had a bottle to put change in. We put lines around the bottles with colored tape. As the class reached a new line every child in the class received a reward--We used everything from pencils to a pizza party when the bottle was full--One class filled two! We were a relatively small (not wealthy) school, but by the end of four weeks we had raised well over $6000. No one had to sell a thing. <BR/><BR/>BTW--I enjoyed visiting your blog. I will be back again!Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095830824526766029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245468123688846365.post-59107590311232879962007-06-23T10:47:00.000-06:002007-06-23T10:47:00.000-06:00Oh, I forgot to tell you that I find the vintage p...Oh, I forgot to tell you that I find the vintage postcards at various antique shops.

So good that you didn't have to use it. I can't even begin to imagine how much they weigh.Trellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027699775609340658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245468123688846365.post-43360769012024295572007-06-22T19:10:00.000-06:002007-06-22T19:10:00.000-06:00Good for you saving all that coin and not having t...Good for you saving all that coin and not having to use it for college!!!
