How Rich is This?

Or how stupid?
See this machine? It's purpose is to count your change for you---for a fee! I get it that some people like to come home and put their change in a jar and then cash it in or deposit it at the bank to see how much they saved kind of by accident when the jar is full. But how rich or busy do you have to be to not mind paying 8.9 cents on the dollar to have a machine count your change? The thing is, the people I usually see at this machine certainly don't dress or act or talk like they have so much money and so little time that they have to pay to have their money counted.

In the malls here, there is a place where you can literally throw your money away by watching it wind down a large funnel and down a hole and into the collection box below. I wish I had been the brilliant person who anticipated this easy way to make money. I don't have a photo, but you can understand what it looks like if you imagine a large black plastic funnel that is about a meter and half in diameter, set with the narrow end down onto a circular wooden base. There aren't any signs or instructions, but people here seem to know what to do. Walk up to the thing, stand a coin up on its edge on the outer edge of the funnel, and watch it roll in concentric circles before it falls through the hole in the center. I try to imagine such a thing in the middle of some public space in Brno and I just cannot. What Czech would throw money away like this? I have an idea what use just about any beer-drinking male would find for such a thing, and the only thing it might have to do with money is saving the 15kc charge at the public toilets.
