Filipino Invention - Jeepney Coin Sorter

-
You know how there are lists floating around of these awesome inventions by Filipinos and some of them turn out to be hoaxes?  This invention, a jeepney coin sorter, I wish was real.  Unfortunately it doesn't exist.  Challenge accepted... anyone? __________________________________________________________ One of my machine design projects when I was still taking up my Mechanical Engineering was a coin sorter and wrapper, made even more challenging by the professor's requirement that it should have a single input action, say a rotating motion.  We never finished it and had to change projects halfway through.  But remembering it got me thinking... I wonder how much interest there would there be for a jeepney coin sorter?

I'm just too old to be drunk at a club at 3 in the morning...  OK OK It's probably just me. :p Then I also said the same thing about Social Media and blogging - and I still feel that way sometimes. I'm too old for Facebook . I'm too old for Twitter . Doh. Just Friend or Follow me. :p But even American Idol thinks I'm too old. Hehe. They have an age limit of 28. The truth is, though, I am not too old for anything. YOU are not too old for anything. We should not be held back by those numbers,...
