The private benefits are obvious, the public benefits include increasing the velocity of money and therefore decreasing the government’s need to print more coins, and the non-profit benefits include the Coins that Count program he started that created one of the most efficient means of giving to charaties. Jens is a strategic thinker, very encouraging of other entrepreneurs, and inspiring.
