empty the jar to about a third full (hide the coins in stash somewhere) so that the jar again approaches the magical equilibrium of 3/4 full. Then dump the held back amount in. Presto! a full jar!
sometimes change can be interesting. I can find some rare or should I say, old coins that I want to keep for interest sake. I recently got a 12 sided nickel from 1946 (it has King George on it!)
I also have a nickel from 1945 with the "V" for victory on it, along with the 50th anniversary version from 2005.
Plus I get the occasional centennial coin (1967) with all the "groovy" designs that were popular back then.
Change can be fun too!
