    We keep a coin jar. We count it about 2 times a year and see how much we have so we can buy items we’ve been wanting but haven’t had the money.

    We keep a coin jar in our office. After it fills, we cash it in and deposit it in our daughters savings account.

    We keep a coin counter so it’s easier to roll coins. That’s how we saved for our daughter’s education; with loose coins. Since she was born we saved $17,000 this way for her college!

    we keep a coin jar and when it gets heavy we roll it and take the rolls to the bank and deposit it in our vacation account. I pay only in cash and never use my change.

    My husband gives me his pennies and puts all the other change into a coffee mug. About every two months, the mug is full and he counts the coins. This cycle he had $127.00 in change so a nice little bonus for Christmas shopping!

    Change goes in a jar. We hope to one day take a vacation with it. We don’t count it often. When it is near the top, we take it to the bank and have the machine do it.

    I have a coin jar. It is actually a metal tin. I don’t count it because most of the time, I end up going in there to grab lunch money for the kids if I was not on top of making the lunches the night before:)

    I have one that I often raid if I know I’ll need coins when we are out. Possibly for vending machines or mall rides for the kids or food for animals at the zoo. I also cash it out when we move.

    We have a 5 gallon jug that we “TRY” to save our coins in. The kids usually get to them first :(
