More Uses for Coins
Make a noisemakerDrop a few coins into an empty aluminum soda can, seal the top with duct tape, and head for the stadium to root for your favorite team. Take your noisemaker with you when you walk the dog and use it as a training aid. When the pooch is naughty, just shake the noisemaker.
Decorate a barretteUse shiny pennies to decorate a barrette for a little girl. Gather enough pennies to complete the project (5 pennies for each large barrette; fewer for smaller barrettes). Arrange pennies as you like on the barrette and use hot-melt glue to attach them. Allow 24 hours to dry.
Hang doors perfectlyNext time you hang an entry door, nickel-and-dime it to ensure proper clearance between the outside of the door and the inside of the frame. When the door is closed, the gap at the top should be the thickness of a nickel, and the gap at the sides should be that of a dime. If you do it right, you will keep the door from binding and it won't let in drafts.
Make a paperweightIf you have ever traveled abroad, you have probably come home with a few odd-looking coins from foreign lands. Instead of leaving them lying around in a desk drawer, use them to make an interesting paperweight. Just put the coins into a small glass jar with a closable lid and cover the lid with decorative cloth or paper.
