I know what it is, and I still do it to some degree. Old habits don't die...

Some of those coins look like gold, but I'm not a coin expert.

It reminds me of MJ's golden gumball analogy in the books.

Are you hinting at hacking the probability of success?

Also made me think of Two-Face's coin with two heads in The Dark Knight ("I make my own luck").

Hahahahha no they´re not gold, some euro coins just look golden.

It´s something MJ refers to in his book TMF . Something he did out of habit in order to visualise something bigger...

They are "financial army/soldiers fighting for your freedom. A penny saved today is penny you don't have to earn tomorrow ".

I've read about this habit in Unscripted and I also think that saving money is a great habit. However, I prefer to move the spare change to my bank account since carrying coins that value $500 (I guess this value was mentioned in MJ's book) this way might be impractical.

It's really not about saving nickels and dimes.

It's about a mental shift in understanding money's role when it comes to your financial freedom.

Actually saving nickels and dimes won't amount to much, but realizing that every penny puts you one light year closer to crossing the galaxy. When you start earning 1, 3, 5, and 10,000,000 pennies a month or more, then things start to move.

Thank you MJ for the correction, my logic was indeed incorrect in my previous post.
