Oh. What were you driving earlier then?

Jimmy goes to college. Nice. What're you looking to major in?

It's piling up in a canister in my closet. I've split up the quarters and dimes from the rest of the change though.

Don't give it to homeless people. Those damn, dirty scumbags will only buy booze with your hard-earned 75 cents.

I think my local bank has a change machine that they will put all your coins through and give you cash back.

There is a cute girl there that I might ask out while I'm there. I'll take her to dinner with the cash I get from changing my coins.

I recall hearing something on the news that had to do with the US Mint asking all those who had spare change, especially pennies, to get them back into circulation.

Here ya go US Mints. Let's see who can guess closest to how much money is in my jug.

I put it all in a jar in a cabinet in my kitchen. Out of sight, out of mind. I'll cash it in usually before travelling and it can be over 50.00 in change. Some times I'll even toss a $1 bill in there. I guess it's like a piggy bank. And a nice bonus when it's there.

Thanks to debit cards, though, I have less change than I used to.

I keep small change in my desk and work, and use it to purchase the little tins of tuna and salmon I eat during the day.

All my quarters and dimes go to cigarettes (I get enough for a pack every ~2 weeks). The pennies and nickels I bring to the CoinStar machine every 2 months or so. It usually adds up to about $10, that goes towards food.

usually when i have a bit of change left from buying an energy drink (usually) i either store it back into my wallet...because you never know when you need change for a train ticket......or put it in a charity tin at the shop i bought the drink from. like at the movies(where i work) theres a guide dogs queensland tin so me change usually goes in there. but now i have a m'ms bucket so i might start putting my change in there

I put mine back in my wallet and then spend it when there is enough money.

I only save coins 20c and up, if I dropped a 5c coin I wouldn't pick it up and Id only pick up a 10c if I needed it or there was someone/thing worth throwing it at.
