Do you have a change pile?
 

mine has been growing rapidly over the last few months... I NEVER take change with me (only notes) and hardly ever use coins to pay for things.

$140 in change, all coins...

do you have a pile?

I use a water cooler jug, 1/4th the way filled... :)

yea but i keep taking it to the coinstar at albertsons like every week so it doesnt build up too big lol....

same here i just drop them in a can

Got one.... it's great for those quick trips to Del Taco :)

I absolutely hate coins, total pain in the arse

I like notes :)

everytime i get home from shopping or the city, wheever, i put all my change in a jar for my little girl to keep.

the change seems to be worth a lot less, although there appears to be more here in Canada but i guess its coz back in oz we dont have 1 cent coins.


but on an average week i can put away anywhere from $60-80 just in small change .. whch is pretty good savings to a 3 year old.

Yep, I've got tons of coins.

I throw mine in a cup and then dup that into a bigger bag once the cup gets full.

I keep change in a pail. Every few years I'll go through it and roll it and deposit it. Often hundreds of dollars of change.

Yep, i have a piggy bank. Saving change these days is easy sleazy, my bank has one of those coinstar machines so no more rolling it all up like we did when we were kids!

yea, i have a piggy bank too

I'm anal. My change gets seperated into 4 containers. Quart mason jar for quarters, pint mason bar for dimes, crown royal bottle for nickles, and a wicker basket for pennies.

I have a huge pile, I would guess about $100 or so worth and I usually roll them up while watching tv shows. I could use those coinstar machines to do it for me but they take like a 10% cut. I figure I can do it myself while doing something like watching tv for free so why not :)

No way, you roll your own coins... :helpme j/k I actually used to do the same myself but one of the local banks has a machine you can use to count your coins and its 100% free. :) I have about 6 of those big huge coffee cans full of silver change. The pennies go in a seperate container. I know I have well over $500.00 in coins. When I cash them in I will use it to open a savings account of some sort for my 3 month old twin girls.. :upsidedow

yes have piles of the little bastards all over the place. I use to be organised and keep them in all separate jars but lately it's all overflowed so there are random piles around my house. It's great for "emergencies" :)

notes...lol you damn aussie.

but yeh, i hate coins, and hate carrying them in my pocket. always take em to the coinstar machine

I have about 4 plastic pop containers filled with them..too lazy to roll them up and we don't have those machines to do it for you here

Ugh ? go to wallmart or costco budy ;)

Pennies just scream wicker :upsidedow

Does that local bank roll them for free too or just count? That would be a great way to get rid of all that change quickly. 3 months old already too?! Wow, seemed like just a few weeks ago when we all went out to dinner at that lobster place!

i have two piles contained in old whiskey tins. one for change, and one for 1 and 5 dollar bills. currently, they are both half full. i don't know how much that equals out to, but when i fill them up completely i am gonna count them out and probably buy myself a new gun. :upsidedow

yep, a huge box of change. Must be $200 - $300 by now.

I dont carry change so yes I have piles in my offices, bedroom, truck, car. etc.

i spend change, my fiance doesnt and he saves his, he loves to save it actually he says he always has money with it there heh

It's a tip from Better Homes and Gardens, doncha know? :winkwink:

Yea I have a few containers full of coins.

yeah, i do have a pile of coins.

moneyclip :thumbsup

yes, I have about 4 kg of change

I simply can't get enough of it

The machine counts and gives you paper money back. :) And yeah, they are growing fast :upsidedow

they have a machine in our local store that you pour all ur change into and it gives ya notes - i only cashed out my jar today for 327 euros :)

Sure do...with all of the stupid looney tooney shit we have here it sucks to carry that around. I prolly have a couple grand in change, easy.

ive got pennies coming out the ass :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

2% near my house for coinstar

we have a huge sparklets water jug that gets emptied about every 3 months and i divide it and put it into the Junior Saver accounts I have set up for my kids at my bank.

We started a water cooler job change jar here at the office for change - it was getting there - but people keep on raiding it :(

The proceeds were supposed to go to a night at the rippers!

I have a couple big plastic tubs I throw my change in each night. I only cash it in to buy real silver coins...or to do my laundry when my washer breaks.

:winkwink:

adding some security to the jar... right after I finish this post.... mario think we can get your puppy to watch it for us...

All donations to the stripper Jar can be sent to PB :) lol
