I keep some in my car for tolls, but most goes into a jar at home.  When it's full (very very rare, since I almost never use cash) I take it to the bank.

I save the spare change and then in a few months I'll wrap them and take to bank.

I just spend the extra change on water, stamps, and groceries. I don’t have anything stored in the piggy bank.

I save it in a big piggy bank and when it gets full i roll them up and cash them. The last time i did that i got like $400 that's not including the pennies. With the pennies i had like $100 and after that it's been hard to save the spare change cause of gas prices  :'(

I have a bank that counts the change as you put it in. When I reach 200. I take it and treat myself to something I want but don't have ready cash for. It gives me something to look forward to.

It's all in my car and I used it to buy some soda or snacks at 7-11  ;D
I use my spare change to cure world hunger and plight.

We save ours in a large coffee tin until there's a good amount, then take it to one of the coin machines at the grocery store and cash it in. They charge, I think, 5% but it's worth not having to roll the coins.

I keep all my spare change in a big gallon jug in just let it build up then i go cash it in and put it in my daughters piggy bank. Cause she is only one years old, i figued this way if i keep doing this she will have enough money to put into a savings account when she gets older or keep put back for college.

I use it for coffee when I am out of money or even gas for my car.

I put all my spare change and small bills in a big cheese-ball bucket. It's sort of a rainy day fund, but it will most likely go towards a new car.

I put my spare change in my son's piggy bank. When his bank gets full, we take the change to either CoinStar machine or to our Bank and deposit it into his savings account. It depends if we are having hard times. I hate that CoinStar machine......it's so LOUD and EVERYONE knows what you are doing because they can hear it throughout the whole store! Haha!!  :-[

Anyways, on keeping change....... I wouldn't keep change in my car, that's not a good idea and only makes your more of a target for car thieves!  :angry7:

When I get too much change in my billfold I put it in a jar and then once in awhile I wrap it and take it to the bank.
