    We keep a coin jar…we don’t count it very often, more just use it for small treats. For instance, we might use it to get some soda & popcorn for a movie night in.

    Yes, we keep a coin jar. It never gets much in it because we are always raiding it for coins…usually so we can go to the carwash. Neither my husband nor I use cash as our main way of paying for things so it takes us a while to collect more than a few pennies.

    My husband and I share a coin jar and we roll change about every two months or so. My two younger children have a piggy bank, which we are saving for them to use when they are older. My three older kids have piggy banks, but spend their money too fast to save!

    My husband keeps a coin bank of sorts, but I do not – I almost exclusively use my debit card for my transactions. Any extra change is kept in the car, in case of the odd need to feed a meter.

    Now my mother, on the other hand, keeps change everywhere and I’ve been known to drag her by the hand, lugging huge gallon jars filled with coins, to the nearest coinstar machine to make her get rid of her coin hoard!

    yes we have a coin pot, and we tend to count it every three months, this is usually when we cash it in to use for the kids birthday event.

    I have 2 coin jars, we don’t count but separate pennies from rest of coins… So far I think we only cashed one of them once. We used the coins for car wash, pay tollway fee and for garage sale purchases…

    My husband dumps his pockets on the counter every evening and always leaves the change the next morning, so I scoop this up and use it as much as I can during the day. Anything I have left over, I leave in the ‘ashtray’ of my van.

    We keep a jar of coins but it never reaches the brim. When we need it, I take the jar to our nearby coinstar (kroger or walmart) and use the money to get groceries.
