Coins

I have been collecting coins since beginning of this year. 

I want to buy a 30G iPod with video playing function. Yet, it's not something I have to have. Therefore, I came out this plan at the beginning of this year. I will collect all the coins I can find to get the iPod. It has been more than 6 months. I finally collected $50 coins! This Thursday after my lab meeting, I brought the coins to the bank. I changed the coins to paper money. I was very excited. With the rebate from the bookstore, I had almost $100. At least, it's half way to get the iPod. However, I guess I was celebrating too early. Before I left the bank, I asked them to check my balance on my debit card. I was told I owned the bank $3.76! I had more than $37 in that account! It turned out that I forgot to cancel the online pay bill service. The bank charged fee for that service! A very good lesson.

At the end, it seemed like I collected all the coins to pay the bank service fee........
