If it's $8,000 in change (literally - coins in 16 coffee cans), and you're James Jones - it's a new Silverado. James brought his change to a car dealership in Ohio, to make a down payment.
Now seventy, James said his old truck ran him over when the parking break failed, so it was time to get a new one.
It took an hour and half to count all the change. A former engineer by trade, James said that he doesn't like banks, and paper money will burn, so he kept all his savings in coins.
Now, that too qualifies as a time for change!
