What do you do with your loose change? Spend it, save it, keep it in your car when you're short a few cents at the store?

I save all mine in a jelly jar and cash it in at the bank about every year or so. I cashed in a few weeks ago and got $75, which was pretty cool.

We save it. It comes in handy during those really measly times. We are bad at managing money, and we run into moments where we have none at all like right now omfg.

Tips and extra change I put it in my Pikachu bank when I remember! Last time I filled it up and cashed it all in I almost had $200 which was nice. Allowed me to pull out less money for the convention I was going to, lmao.

I haven't bought anything with cash in a while, so I have no change to worry about. ;D

But when I do, I actually have a ceramic jar that's there for the express purpose of keeping said change. Although I've forgotten about it in recent times...no really, and I'm not entirely sure how many dollars' worth of change is in there.

(I would count it again, but that's a pain and I can't be bothered to do so.)

Depends on my mood. Then again, everything does.

I just keep loose change in my wallet and try to spend them asap to get rid of them. They only serve as an inconvenience to make my wallet fat and heavy.

I keep it if it's anything 10p upwards, I use the bus a lot so having change helps but I refuse to use anything under like 1,2 or 5p, I try and put in a donation boxes if I'm out but honestly sometimes I just throw it away. Nothing worse than waiting behind someone in a cue who pays with bags full of pennies

I just keep mine thrown about my room. I really should put it in the piggy bank I have, but I just end up throwing down and forgetting about it. The cup holders in my car are also filled with loose change from whenever I go out to buy something.
What are you so afraid of?

I causally get hungry in the middle of 2-3 hour university studio, lectures, tutorials etc. so I just walk out and go to the vending machine to get food. Then I don't feel like i'm losing so much money by constantly swiping my card when I want food.

I collect the change I wouldn't use at the shops. So generally 5p and under. That copper adds up, ya know?

So I found a somewhat rusty, but otherwise charming jar in the rubble in an abandoned lot north of Milan. Brought it home and use it as a coin jar. Actually just cashed it in yesterday, to a total of $54.96, which will go to our effort to buy a German Shepherd next year.

I put all my change in a piggy bank (note: i am not under the age of thirteen); I don't have a purse or anything to carry it in, so if the price of something is, say, $20.35, I'm paying $21 or even $40. Unlike most of you guys, I don't have a car to keep my crap in

I'm fanatical about saving change. When I was in high school my aunt used to give me all of her loose change every time I'd see her, and I'd get about $40 every few months from it. I still save all of my change and I keep two piggy banks actually, one for just pennies and the other for nickles, dimes, and quarters (weird... I know) but I don't get much spare change since I use my debit card for pretty much everything, so I'm only building up my piggy banks from spare change I find lying around at work or from the rare cash transaction.

Throw my spare change at ice cream vans to get soft serves. That or rummage the house for that last 10c needed to buy the weekly groceries. I don't really care for spare change as you can see, so I leave the 5 cents scattered around the household alone for some cockroach with opposable thumbs to grab.
