How big is your change jar(s)?

[nerp]

I have two coffee cans filled to the brim with mostly silver. The rate of accumulation has declined a bit since I'm using less cash than everyone else and tend to swipe my debit card to make the majority of purchases. There's probably a little over $100 or so between both cans but I'm too lazy to roll or count. Don't you think that ATMs should have a Coinstar-like trap built in? Make a deposit and dump your change and it could tally it up. That would be sweet.

Inspired by the money threads.

Coins smell funny.

It's just a big jam jar...

 

[skace]

It's a Frisbee.

metal coffee can

Quart plastic bag. When it fills, I take it to the bank.

Since most banks have multiple branches that count coins free for their consumers, why would they pay for thousands of ATM to do it?

A very small tin. Collecting coins is irritating, so I use them as I go.

A Jameson tube (whatever its called, the round tubes the bottles come in) with ~4" of silver in the bottom and crammed to the top with mixed bills $1-$50.

I dump all my change in, and every couple days I dump in all my singles and occasionally a 5 or 10, plus $50s whenever I get one since I don't want to bother breaking it. I don't really notice the cash missing from my wallet, and it adds up fast. If you pay for small stuff with cash very often you can get 3-500 easy in just a few months

I use one of those fruit jelly plastic jars you can get at chinatown.

Just did CoinStar for a $95 Amazon cert. That was like two months of change.

I don't have a pee jar

Just did CoinStar for a $95 Amazon cert. That was like two months of change.

Damn just two months? Over the course of a year I took my change to a coinstar and around ~$45 but I do spend a lot of my change as well.

I've got about $200 in coins in a box near my bed. That's about a month or so of change.

nonexistent....

learn to use your change as you go. sigh.

 

[ElFenix]

2 quart milk bottles, one for pennies, one for not-pennies. the pennies one is almost full, the other i just emptied a couple months back.

Emptied mine to pay for parking at the train station starting last January. Lasted 7 months!

 

[clamum]

A one gallon size glass jar. Just weighed it, it weighs 22.5 lbs. Not sure how much is in there but I'm pretty sure it's at least $100. :awe:

 

[Leros]

I have a decent sized vase almost filled the top. It hasn't accumulated much in the past two years because I never use cash anymore.

 

[rudeguy]

I use the clear plastic part of a 50 DVD spindle. I call it my son's college fund. He HATES that.

 

[alevasseur14]

I have a glass gallon wine jug (long, painful, hangover inducing tradition between friends) that I empty once a year. I cashed it in last August and got just over 300 bucks out of it. That made my day!

 

[BladeVenom]

Roughly $200. I just sorted half of it, so it's a fairly accurate guess.

 

[nick1985]

lol cash

 

[Red Squirrel]

I have an ice cream container. Every now and then I roll it up and bank it.

This is the result of last time.

The surface of my desk is my change jar...I think. I rarely see much of its surface though.

In any case, I don't use cash for most purchases.
