Damn, thats a lot of coins.... My friend has one of those big beer bottle thingys that you can buy at Spencers or whatever. Anyway, it's about halfway filled up with pennies, and he's got about $400 in there apparently.

I keep a bucket in my closet, it's my 'Cig' money, cuz if I'm ever broke, I wanna be sure I can afford a few packs until payday.

Course, I've yet to be that broke, so I have $92.27 last time I checked (Feburary, I think), and I've been adding.. thanks for reminding me, It's always fun to recount the cig stack

My uncle used to keep a gallon milk jug to put his pennies in. He would tell us kids (12-15 at the time) that if we could lift the full jug and keep it stiff-armed in front of us for 10 seconds, we could keep it.

You know, you wouldn't think pennies would be that heavy. Go figure.

we have a big jar we toss coins into. not as big as your 5 gallon jug tho!

a long time ago i used to often have the need to roll those coins. i don't know what i'll do now when the jar gets full cuz i don't want to roll coins any more if i don't hafta. i think i might be able to just take the jar to the bank & they have a magic coin sorter. of course, i'll need a handtruck to get it from house & to the bank...

too bad those machines take away a percentage unless you choose to donate your change to charity.

anyone have any luck with the asseenontv coin sorters? it would probably take more than a day to sort a jug that big

I save all my change in the soda machine here at work. I don't know how much is in there though.
however I'm rebuilding a '91 civic and I've found just under $43 dollars in change in various places in the car!

Before they had those automatic change counters, most banks made you roll your coins before you turned them in. I had over $200 after a year. After rolling that amount of coin, I said would never do it again. I just love paying for a hamburger with 150 pennies

My Dad has a regular jar about 10" high for all the change he finds and then he has this really tall and thin liquor bottle(can't remember name) that he fills all with dimes, it is like 3 feet high with about a 6" diameter base. I can't remember how much it usually adds up 2 though. I think it might be around 200

I have no idea how much is in that jug....... I know one thing though, that thing is farking heavy! I found this really cool glass one in this old ladies backyard that I was helping and she let me have it....... I put a bunch of sandblasting sand mixed with soap and hot water into it and rolled it around until it was nice and clean, but I chickened out transfering the coins into it..... I figured if I ever wanted to move the damn thing it would break.

One day at the used car lot I worked at when I was 17, this old beater station wagon pulls in with five mexicans wearing white cowboy hats..... as it goes over the speed bump I hear this Chaa Ching! The first thing I would always do when a 'new' car was bought was to pull out the back seat and look for loot....... I pulled the seat and Woo Hoo! there were tons of nickles, dimes, quarters...... even a few paper bills! all and all I found around $75 under that seat Funny thing is they sold the wagon for $150

I throw all my change into the space underneath my e-brake in my car, a drawer in my room, or, if I'm feeling ambitious, the coin tray in my car.

I find I can save up about $50 in change every 5-6 months. Not too shabby for just tossing it in a jar every day after I go out.

It adds up

I use the cover from a 50 pack spindle of CDRs. When it's full it's about a $100 in change. I have a set of tubes that measures out the right amount of change to wrap. Works pretty well and I don't lose a percentage using one of those sorting machines at the grocery store. I have one of those as seen of TV battery powered sorters too. Don't use it much. Too slow and noisy but it does work.

I have one of those decorative popcorn tins, you know the one with the regular, cheese and caramel popcorn. I still have the divider in it, one is pennies, one is nickles and dimes, and the other is quarters. I've had it for about 6 years or so. It's filled to about 3 inches from the top and I'm waiting until it's full to cash it in. All I know is that I can't lift it any more.
