What do people do with coins?

07:15, you could have your dirty bills laundered.

I put them all in a big jar in my laundry closet. Every 6 months or so, I take all of the change to a Coinstar. I get an Amazon gift certificate. There is no fee for using the Coinstar machine if you get an Amazon gift certificate.

Quarters go in the car, dimes and nickels go in the piggy bank to coinstar later on and the pennies get saved seperately for when I take my kids to the park that has a wishing well.

We save an envelope of all of our extra leftover $1 bills. I have $79 saved just since Christmas! This is so stupid.

I am the same poster who has saved probably $75 since last summer in coins. You're throwing away so much money!

Seriously? People actually throw money away? If so you are incredibly spoiled and it would do you good to understand the value of money of not to yourself but to other people.

Oh my god -- these are jokes, people. I would bet the contents of my piggy bank that no one posting on this thread is throwing away change or lining their hamster's cage with 1 dollar bills.

Put it in my piggy bank, the kid's piggy bank, and H's coin jar. When they are full we sort and roll. Just did it last weekend and netted $150. Put half in the kid's bank account and went out to dinner with the rest.

My hamster won't poop on anything less than a $20.

I throw man at the poors wearing Target clothing and eating conventional produce from Giant. Not to provide them with extra money, but to clear them from my royal path.

I keep mine and take them to coinstar for a gift card. If my son sees them first, they go into his piggy bank.

I save them up for the vending machine at work.

This is me. I have a water cooler bottle in the garage and a jar in our mud room. Fill the jar, dump it in the water bottle, repeat. Right now I am about 5 years in and the water cooler bottle is about 70% full. Probably a new set of golf clubs there, I think.

Dude, how are you going to lift that thing??? Water weighs about 8 pounds a gallon, coins would probably be more, right?

This is a fair point. Right now I have been dragging it around when I need to move it but I never really thought about lifting it.

There may be a hole in my plan. I am going to try to lift it when I get home. Say a prayer.

This and parking meters. Between trips to coin star they go in an empty vodka bottle.
