It's a Knowledge Economy, Stupid

Saving money is, generally, a good idea. Something that helps people save money (assuming it's voluntary) is also, probably, a good thing. (Can you tell I'm working up to something?) Even this somewhat self-serving program by Bank of America is not a bad idea. What gets me though is the last line on the page: "Keep The Change" patent pending.

Yes. Apparently they are trying to patent the electronic idea of what most people did every day back in the good old days of cash. Buy something and pay with bills. Receive change including coins. Place coins in pocket. At the end of the day place all coins in a jar. Repeat.
