I agree... pennies are pointless anymore. I also enjoy those shops who've switched over to rounding prices to the nickel. Pennies just get in the way.

I hate change of any kind being in my pocket... so every time I get home, the first thing I do is dump any change in my pocket into this deep tray on my desk. This is, of course, if I hadn't already dumped it into the tray in my car.

The last time I cashed it in, it was barely half-full (and I have no idea how long it took to accumulate it all). I went out and added the (rather large) tray in my car and between the two, I got $112. Couldn't have been more than a 12 - 18 months.

With the coinstar kiosks, you can get it in a couple of different gift cards and you lose no value for commission, every cent is yours... so I put it into an Amazon.com card, since I wanted to use the money to buy an iPod nano anyway.
