My parents got me this money bank to put all the coins and small notes that are found in my jeans pockets. So, i decided that whatever money inside is saved for my first Rolex

Do you think it will buy me a new Rolex when full?

How big is it?

Stuff it with notes!

Mickey® · 23 November 2011, 03:40 AM

Are they gold coins?

MoBe · 23 November 2011, 03:40 AM

How long is a piece of string?

MonBK · 23 November 2011, 03:48 AM

Tell your Parents to feel free donating
their spare coins to the cause!

dysondiver · 23 November 2011, 04:00 AM

i have a five gallon water cooler bottle i throw my change in at the end of the day , no notes , just coins , ive seen it have two thousand in it before ,,, so its going to be tight , you will need notes too.

I already told them, i should sell some clothes. I am having a large collection of top brands that i have worn few times or some that i haven't even worn and have no space or use for them, but i dont think that such a market exist here

eric23 · 23 November 2011, 04:04 AM

Cool Bank!

colpol · 23 November 2011, 04:23 AM

My other 1/2 had something like that

Hers was called a terramundi pot - you have to smash it to get the money out when its full. She was saving for a cartier but ran out of patience after about 18 months. She bought a digital camera & a raymond weil watch after she smashed it

You'll need notes & a lot of patience !!!

Yes this is the exact same thing, have to be smashed to get the money. Its an old local craft. I never was patient enough in my childhood to save in them, so for the first time in my life i am dedicated to this scheme and for my first Rolex which will make it more valueable item

duc003 · 23 November 2011, 04:43 AM

Maybe everyone on the forum will send you a coin. :-)

Actsulb · 23 November 2011, 04:54 AM

I think your jar will be full sooner than you think towards your purchase. Where there is a will there is a way.

HongNinja · 23 November 2011, 04:57 AM

NOPE! Unless you are putting $10, $10, $50 notes in it.

What you need is a water cooler(mentioned above) with coins and notes if you want it to buy you a Rolex. IMHO

You can pull it off though! Do it!

bayerische · 23 November 2011, 04:58 AM

Adjusted for Rolex inflation, it will take 10 of those!

No, but seriously, yes, of course it can buy you a rolex!

will do my best, but it will be a big loss if the maids stole it and took away :D (this isn't something uncommon here)

you got me confused but i will seriously try to be save faster so the inflation have minimum effect

GradyPhilpott · 23 November 2011, 07:06 AM

How about an interest-bearing savings account?

My savings account yields a whopping .05% interest.

Casey VP-26 · 23 November 2011, 08:00 AM

It will work, just put in a Gold Coin every once in a while.

dddrees · 23 November 2011, 08:03 AM

I doubt very much that pennies, nickels, and quarters would do it.

Onikage · 23 November 2011, 08:17 AM

Maybe every now and then swap small for large in it to save some space. LOL

brkanand · 23 November 2011, 09:24 AM

Perhaps you can. Be optimistic Feras.

gtb5 · 23 November 2011, 06:02 PM

Sure Rolex has different price points, the cheapest model is like $2K?

jonnyz1245 · 23 November 2011, 06:06 PM

If there is a cashiers check for 5K made out to you, I think you have a good shot!

Feras · 23 November 2011, 06:43 PM

i know that eventualy i will need to add a large amount on it, but i want the majority to be saved :)
