I have a coin jar that needs to be counted. It’s been full for quite awhile and I’ve started a second one. It’ll go towards bills when it does get cashed eventually. I’d love to win!
Cristal
I have a coin jar that rarely gets count. My boyfriend uses the coins to give our boys a nickle every time they find one of my bobby pins, hehe. They love to hunt for my bobby pins now!

my coin jars are my kids piggy banks.

Julia H
I keep my coins in a giant coke bottle bank and when its full I take it to the Penny Arcade at the bank, free for everyone, even if you don’t have an account!
Lisa
We have a coin jar and alot of loose change goes in there. We use a cash envelope system for groceries and have a set monthly budget. All the change I get from each shopping trip goes in the change jar. In the past we have used it to supplement vacations but we haven’t taken one in a while. We hope to soon, though! Even my son puts his change in the jar! He calls it the “I really want to go on vacation” jar!

We have a 5 gallon jug that we throw our change in. We don’t really have anything that we save it for. I get antsy once in awhile and roll it and put it in the bank.

We used to have a coin jar, but we never cashed it in. So it was almost like not having a coin jar. I gave it away to my father. There must be at least 40 bucks in it.
