bingo

left over pennies & nickels go into a large upturned water jug.
dimes & quarters are more useful and go back into play.

the collection exchange is useful for a night out every 6 months or so.

I just use them. I like giving exact change. I hate dealing with change lying around. Drive hubby nuts when I count out the right amount.

Hubby on the other hand is currently using an empty diaper wipe box that was handy at the time when he outgrew the cup on his dresser.

I've been saving pennies (only pennies) in an old glass 5 gallon water bottle jug for the past 25 years or so. It's almost filled. Too heavy to lift, and I doubt glass bottom could support the weight. Too many to count and it would take too long to empty the jar anyway (unless I broke it). So it just sits there, collecting pennies and dust.

A long time ago, I used to take gallon jugs of coins to the bank and have them count them for me - at that time, they took a 3% cut - still well worth avoiding the hassle of counting and rolling them by hand.

It used to average out at around $400 per jar. Of course, this wasn't just pennies - it was mostly quarters (bartending tips)

I have a change pocket in my wallet, so I have a significant incentive to use change as quickly as possible.

Does anyone actually spend them - mine are in a 1/2 gallon Crown bag - When it gets full - about every three months, they go in the grandson's savings account.

i throw all my change, (canadian change) into apeanut butter jar, which takes about 3 months to fill. i usually end up with around $80 worth of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and a lot more worth of twoonies and loonies (that is if i can avoid taking them when i need small change.

I put all my loose change in a 5 gallon water jug. when it gets full i count it out and roll the change up and take it to the bank. I do this about twice a year. Usually end up with about $200-300 each time it gets full.

coinstar is good if you need cash fast and the banks are closed. I once got $140 from a taco bell cup i had filled.

Location: Somewhere between the Havens and the Earth
I really really really love change, I buy it from my friends and I refuse to spend it when I go shopping (by the end of a shopping trip I come out with at least $5), I also collect piggy banks of all shapes and sixes so my goal is to fill everyone of them up, and once I do Im going to vegas.

Although since I moved to college, I do lots of laundry so its mostly dimes nickles and pennies, that I manage to save the most of.

I also find it very relaxing to coint change. I like to dump it in a big pile and pick up handfulls and let them run through my fingers. Ive always done this as a little kid, it makes me feel rich!! I used to count my change a lot, it got so bad that for over a year I had to count my change every night before I went to bed, because it relaxed me.

TeeHee. . . I love change!!!!

They all go in my kid's piggy-bank of course! Then, each time it's full, I wrap them up and stick them in his bank account.
That way when he's 16 he'll be able to buy his own car instead of borrowing mine!

I'm baaaaack!
 
My change gets thrown into a huge 5 gallon plastic bucket that is hiding under a pile of clothing somewhere. The bucket usually has a life span of one month- then I go broke and cash it in. I actually had $60 in it once. That also includes silver change, too.

This and the rest of my change all go into a "rainy day" fund and just like Phred, I go to the coin machine and let them count all the change.

Pennies

Well, I take the pennies and I'll pay bus fare with them, dropping quite a few in the attempt.

Pennies....hmm, I mostly use them as weapons. I can break a window at 5 feet by flicking a penny. One of the only things I learned well when I was in college.

I just put all my pennies in a jar and when it looks like I have a lot, I roll them into .50 cent rolls. Then I take them to the bank and put them in a penny account that I have. I have about 74 bucks in there right now I think. Well, give or take 10 bucks.
