How To Put Coins to Good Use

There are many other ways to put your money to good use, besides just spending it.  This article provides some tips on using your money well.

1.  Hanging a Cabinet Door.  As you hang your cabinet door, place a nickel under it, as you attach the hinges to the frame.  This will let the door not hit the floor as it opens and closes.

2.  Screwdriver.  A dime can be used to tighten screws.  It will fit just right for this purpose in most screws.

3.  Doorstop.  Place coins in a sock and tie it up.  It works great for a door stop.

4.  Tire Use.  Use a quarter to measure wear on your tires.  Place it upside down.  If it reaches Washington's head, it is time for new tires.

5.  Soda Cans.  Save on your finger nails by using a coin to pop a top on a soda can.

6.  Space Floor Tile.  If you are putting down ceramic floor tile, place a penny at each corner.  This will keep them even.

7.  Table Wobble.  You can fix a table wobble, by placing a coin under an uneven table leg.

8.  Fluff up a Carpet.  If you have an indentation in your carpet, a coin can fluff is up.

9.  Measuring.  A quarter is about one inch in width.  A Penny is 3/4 of an inch wide.  Use these two for measuring.

10.  Straightening Drapes.  Place coins in the bottom hem and they will weight down drapes.

11.  Book Marks.  Folded dollars work good as a book mark.  Placing them in your bible will allow you not to forget the collection plate at Sunday School.

12.  Battery Corosion.  Place a copper penny in the center of a car or vehicle battery.  It will attract corosion instead of the battery posts.  It will extend the use of your battery.

These are just a few helpful ideas for putting your money to good use.
