Change You Can Believe In
Change Maker by patchorang
My wallet has a little change pouch that, like an idiot, I keep change in. I don’t even know why I do this any more. I don’t really carry much cash and typically use a debit/credit card for most purchases anyhow. Whatever, then, would possess me to actually cart around a random collection of pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters?! Really, if I were approaching the situation logically – like patchorang, I would carry only 10 coins.
It includes 3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 4 pennies. Keep in your wallet so you can always make perfect change.
This is such a great idea for so many reasons. It would prevent your wallet from jingling. 1 It would have a slimmer profile than a pile of the same coins. It could be slid into one of the credit card sections in your wallet. It is also a quick printing, easy to carry, practical and very understandable way to show off what kinds of things you can do with a 3D printer.
Also, 9000 bonus internet points, bragging rights, and a blog-nod to the first person to upload an OpenSCAD derivative and leave a comment here with a link to it on Thingiverse.
