How does everyone save their change, those that do ,how do you store it,,,In one big container?,,What is it?..Is every denomination seperate?,,Do you switch up your storage method ?
My nickels, dimes, and quarters go into plastic tubes then get rolled and off to the bank for deposit. The cents go into an old A&W syrup quart jar when it is filled they get rolled and off to the bank they go. Half dollars and dollar coins get spent. Have to keep those circulating. I used to just throw all of my change into one container but then it takes sooo long to sort and roll the coins when it is time that I abandoned that method. I would never use a change machine in the grocery store.
I put my gedunk change in one jar, I fill my coin purse every day before work with 4 dollars in change, I usually buy one of the guys a soda during the day, I have a couple myself and sometimes people ask me for change for a dollar, I replenish my change each week by buying a roll of quarters, some weeks I skip buying the quarters. The pennies are treated differently, I keep 4 zinc cents in my coin purse for making change on purchases so I get gedunk change back, my common coppers go into old quart jars and are stored in the rafters in the cellar, my wheat cents go into rolls. I spend the half dollars from roll searching at the local merchants.
My extra pennies are kept in an old glass Miracle Whip jar. The jar must be 20+ years old. I probably have about 200-250 in the jar. I do use my pennies in commerce when I pay with cash or make change. Coins I find in circulation are kept in a glass baby food jar. That jar must be 45 years old.
I have several baskets to collect my change. I have one for zincolns, one for copper cents, one for nickels, one for dimes, one for state quarters, and one for washington quarters. I either slab or place other coins in ziplock bags.
I just keep mine in a glass milk jar on top of my fridge. The quarters are kept in a small lifesavers metal tin since I need quarters for laundry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I stick all my change after it's new looked at in a cat litter bucket. Haven't filled it yet so not sure how much it'll hold. But I'll be finding out soon
I separate the quarters into a small deli style container and save them for the laundromat. Nickels and dimes go together. pennies are separate too, I pull out the copper ones and set them aside. I like to dump the zincolns on the PO when I need a stamp ( rarely). just enough to be under a roll. I try to spend the nickels and dimes like a couple dollars worth at a time at various retail stores. The quarters that accumulate work out perfect for laundry. I'd like to eliminate the cent entirely...If the half cent was too small in valuein 1857, then the cent is too small in 2014. What can you buy with it, maybe one grape ? There isn't much that costs under $1, no problem rounding to nearest nickel ( on the total) on cash purchases.
