Where do you keep your change? Your coins?

I have two main change receptacles. One is a small Danish pewter bowl; this is where the change comes from my pocket.

After I've fished out some quarters for the train, the change goes to a flat wooden box. I took a cup awhile ago to Coinstar and got $70! So I estimate I have about $300 in coins.

Where's you change? How much? And what do you intend to do with it?

I have a pickle jar that gets all my nickels, dimes, and pennies. I keep quarters (and $1 and $2 coins) for my pants.

I recently cashed in my plastic pic at the Coinstar, he yeilds approx £25 at the end of the month when I need it most.

I have a box full of change, mainly pennys and 2p's, must be about £40 worth. I have an old baked beans tin full of 5p's. Ideally, I should take them to the bank and pay them into my account, but I'm too lazy for this and will probably go on accumulating change for many years to come.

My son likes to shove quarters one at a time into my harmonicas and use them as shakers.

I have a big blue cup with my name on it where i keep all my change. every year (starting this year) i plan to empty it via coinstar on bastille day and throw a party/treat myself to something nice. i piss off cashiers a lot because i never use change when things cost, say $3.01, regardless of whether or not i have the change. it seems like a good idea to give myself an extra yearly holiday.

I too celebrate that holiday, it's called I Want To Get Wasted Tonight But I'm Flat Broke Hello Change Jar Day.

My friend Rhino must have a four figure sum in his coin jar. It's terrifying. Personally, I keep my pound coins in a little Thai pot and my silvers in an opaque yellow glass candle holder. They're both in active use and occasionally they run out.

I have wistful ambitions about my change. Something like Rousseau-meets-Conrad but living like Friday on the Palmyra Atoll, drinking coconut juice and slapping at mosquitoes.

I'll have to save more change, though.

Mine goes into a pewter (I think?) tray with an embossed design engraved in it of a soviet-esque peasant gathering some kind of grain, with the words 'give us this day our daily bread' around it in olde english script. Eventually, probably right before I go on vacation next, I'll cash it in at coinstar and get about $60-$80.
