Tell Mickey to go for it. His story is compelling and everything he writes, sober or not, is very readable!

I am trying to convince Mickey to write a book about his life
and all the anecdotes he has described.

He thinks gambling books are a niche market and wonders
how big the market would be. I am trying to convince him
that his book would be a human interest story and that
gambling is just incidental.

I told him I would query list members what they thought.

Vote whether you think it is about gambling or general
human interest (of interest to the public at large).

Re: [vpFREE] Mickey Crimm

 

The life adventure/struggle/success story is what Mickey's
book is about.  The Gambling connection is incidental.

According to Wikipedia

"Fitzgeralds is also being rebranded as The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel,
standing for "downtown", and also referring to Derek Stevens's nickname,
and the Stevens' hometown of Detroit
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit>.^"<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_D_Las_Vegas#cite_note-8>

Here in the Detroit area the radio commercials try to convince us that
the D stands for detroit

I believe that the casino Coinstars will not offer the gift certificate option so you would have to pay a small fee.

As of a few weeks ago, the D took halves, quarters, and nickels for
free. I believe the same is true of the Fremont and Four Queens.

What does the "D" stand for, anyway?

If you go somewhere that charges a percentage, it might be worthwhile to take the time to pull out just the quarters first and roll them and just run the rest of the coins through the counting machines at a percentage cost.

It's easier and faster to pull out the quarters due to the size differential versus pennies, dimes, and nickels. By rolling just the quarters and cashing those at the bank at no cost that will likely cut down the amount on which you will have pay a percentage by 60% (assuming an equal number of each coin/denomination type).

If you have 1,000 coins of each denomination that means you will have $250 in quarters, $100 in dimes, $50 in nickels, and $10.00 in pennies for a total of $410, with quarters making up about 60% of the total.

At a 6% charge, you'll pay about $25 if you cash them all, but only $10 if you pull out the quarters and roll them (even though they only represent 25% of the coins). So you would save $15

It is definitely worth it on the pennies and nickels to not have to spend the time to separate and roll them and perhaps even the dimes.

But I just hate to have to give someone 6% of every quarter or almost 2 cents for every quarter.

Frugally,

Wait!
In his book excellent book "boomerang," michael lewis interviews Kyle Bass; uber rich hedge fund guy who has 20 Million nickels in a vault.

He hopes the "melt value" of nickels will be double the face value.
Google: "save nickels." (But don't keep too many in attic -2 hvy).

Anyone know of any Las Vegas casinos (or a bank?) that will still accept
outside coins for a coin counter machine at the cage? I keep my loose
change in a bucket and used to turn them in every now and then but my places
no longer do it or they charge extra for it. Any thots/tips?

Thanks.

Call Nevada State Bank. A year or two ago they had a cute commercial
about free coin redemption where a guy had a dump truck full of
coins, and the bank president challenged him to a drag race with his
Brinks truck after the coins were dumped.
