<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26511627, member: 13650&quot;]I store my pocket change for about a year roughly.&nbsp; No set dates.&nbsp; I&#039;m not that OCD.&nbsp; But when a coin show is coming up, I dump it all and cash it in at my bank.&nbsp; Runs through the counter in roughly 5 minutes.&nbsp; A year is about my limit.&nbsp;&nbsp; That bag was heavy enough for me.&nbsp; It requires no less than a real US mint, canvas bag or it would likely rip from the weight.&nbsp; &nbsp; Mostly quarters.&nbsp; If I hauled two years worth it&#039;d be much heavier and a bigger pita for me and the teller.&nbsp; &nbsp; There&#039;s no award for saving 2+ years worth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The hoarding of pennies is like a study in human psychology.&nbsp; It&#039;s not necessarily something people care about.&nbsp; Many would probably like to have the cash but once the hoard becomes so large its very heavy and bulky.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then you have to plan a trip to the bank to deal with it and listen to the whining about having to deal with it.&nbsp; Possibly facing shame and embarrassment.&nbsp;&nbsp; People don&#039;t want to set aside the time to do it.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to lift it.&nbsp; And so.... you have billions upon billions worth of change sitting around the country.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It quickly becomes easier just to throw another handful in the jug and keep ignoring it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Many people probably pass away, never dealing with it and leaving it to someone else to deal with.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My own cumbersome, *annual* bag of change, was converted to this a few weeks ago:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1689935[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
