What do you do with your spare change?

[tashamjoy]

I save mine in jars and keep for years i feel this is my savings not in bank. And i keep some in my car for when they have those charity things to give change in buckets for various causes

I save every change. last month I took mines to the bank it was $231. Hey, every penny counts.

I stare at it and wonder what i am going to use it for the day i want to use it.

I usually don't have a spare change could I use my credit card to buy everything went but what little spare change I get sometimes I give it to go to the Salvation Army in their red kettles. And sometimes I give it to parents of a little kid to buy the kids alone treat. But I always give it to the parents so they don't have money coming from a stranger but they get the goodie anyway! Don't do you think a the way to do it so the kids don't get money from strangers you give to the parents to give get them something?

I save my in a jar that I keep in my closet.  I let it build up and then wrap the change and cash it it.

I keep some change in the car for drive thru's and the toll bridge from time to time but most of my change goes into a large water bottle and then when it gets a lot in it I roll it and take it to the bank to put toward a purchase i have been saving for..like now, all my change i save is going toward things for our wedding.

I use spare quarters to do laundry.  The dimes, nickels and pennies go into the "self serve" check out when I buy groceries.  I like to keep it flowing and circulating.

The last time I took a roll of pennies to the bank the teller looked at me like she didn't know what to do with it.

I hardly even pay with cash, but when I do they're mostly just bills. Any leftover coin change I eventually place in a change jar. I'm not sure if this is strictly with airports or with any public pay telephones (I hardly see anymore), but I heard phone use has jumped considerably through these options. This discourages me to keep general coin change in my pocket.

We have a jar that I throw all the spare change in. We save it for a special "treat".

[sliebshner]

It doesn't seem like I ever have any extra money!  I'm always using the loose change in the bottom of my purse to pay for something!

[TAZALISCIOUS]

All of my extra change on a daily basis goes into a piggy bank. I put in pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Not to exceed $5, but usually ends up being a few $/day. I plan to save it until my little nephew who at the moment is 2 gets to be 18 and it would come in handy for his schooling. With any extra money he can take it and go right ahead to put it on a car purchase too if that's what he would like.

I empty my change every day when I get home.  I mounts up fast and when I have enough, I get something I need or take a well deserved vacation.  It don't seem to cost much when you save that way and able to have a good time.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I put it on a big bank jar that we have and when is full we change for dollars, we have gotten maybe $100 every few months of doing that, it comes very handy when we are short of cash until pay day

I don't keep too much spare change, the one I have I usually have it in my car, not in the ashtray or where it can get ashy or moldy, because then I'll feel uneasy paying with nasty change, if I can avoid it. I usually keep small change in my pocket in case I need it for a transaction where I need a few cents, to avoid plenty more coming my way.
