Joke Software: Coin Drop 1.0

Have you ever been angry at a company—particularly when they say you owe them money—and are tempted to pay your bill with coins just to annoy them? We’ve all been there, but people always take the simplistic approach of paying in pennies.

Coin Drop is a groundbreaking web application that helps you compute how to pay a troublesome bill in roughly equal amounts of the various denominations of United States coinage. Why pay your $500 bill with a simple 50,000 pennies when you can pay with a confusing jumble of 1,219 quarters, 1,221 dimes, 1,219 nickels, and 1,220 pennies?

The program lets you pick and choose your coinage, so if you hate quarters but love those stupid dollar coins you are in luck. It’ll even tell you how many rolls you need to get from the bank. Enjoy!
