How much change do you have?

[Archae]

I have a "piggy bank," (actually, it's shaped like a dinosaur,) I fill it for several weeks then take all the change to the bank.

Here's the latest "haul."

[hippywife]

1. We have tons of change around the house

just lying around and in multiple containers. I have no idea how much it is at this point as it's been piling up for years, probably a decade. I'm calling it our vacation fund.

2. Not enough

and I'll have to get up to go check and ahm too tarr'd to do that right now. I do keep quarters for laundry, but don't consider that "change" because I use it only for laundry ;)

3. We have a glass jar.

last time, it was around $120 when we emptied it, much to our surprise. The weight was about two kilos (4 pounds,) though.

4. How much is 4.4 pounds in Euros?

[Call Me Wesley]

5. 5.35121 €.

Here it'll be 7.23998 CHF. ;)

:hi:

[kentauros]

6. What about 4.4# (2kg) of one-pound notes?

:P

7. Based on how much we have in a bowl and beer mug specifically for that purpose

and with the knowledge base developed from saving change to supplement impulsive eating out at good restaurants....around $140.

8. Lots.

Been saving pocket change for years.

Going to pay for a great road trip.

I have no idea how much, several large jars.

[rrneck]

9. I get about

$250.00 a year out of mine.

10. tons of it...

got containers full of change. Probably over 100 dollars worth, maybe more. I always wanted a change container but until I stopped having kids around that was impossible.

[femmocrat]

11. Probably a lot!

Like some of the other posters, I have several jars of loose change-- mostly pennies, nickles and dimes-- in various rooms.

12. uh, I have drinking age boys in the house

I am lucky to find a few pennies in the dust under the couch.:rofl:

[panader0]

13. My son just hit my stash

One day the jar was half full, now empty.
A month ago I deposited 140.00 in wrapped coins.

[Kali]

14. hey panaderO!

you going to let it rain pretty soon?

[panader0]

15. Hey Kali

I spent the last week stuccoing a huge garage, no shade, temps around 100+. It took everything I had. I can't wait for the monsoon, maybe a bit on Wednesday.

16. the youngest got a job with a landscaper in St David

but they seem to do most of their work in Sierra Vista whew hot and long hours, proud of him but he's out of here around 4 and doesn't get back until 5 or 6. (and deserves a beer or two, I was just ragging in general - haven't had a stash of change since they figured out video games at the pizza joint at age 3)

[SunnySong]

17. Enough to fill two of these...

[hobbit709]

18. The last tme I took the bucket in, it had $97.+ in it

Right now there's a good $75 in the bucket. I empty my pockets every night.

19. My spouse

has a five gallon water jug where he throws all his quarters. He calls it his retirement fund. Last time he counted, it was over $2500.00. He says he would take it to the bank and put in a savings account, but interest rates are so low, it's not worth the bother of lugging it in.

[proteus_lives]

20. My penny jar.

It sits next to my TV. Every penny I've had in the last 4 years has gone into it. I figure there's about 50-60 bucks worth of pennies in there now.

21. I turned in all my change a year ago

at a coinstar thing, went with the amazon gift card so they didn't charge me anything IIRC. Now I probably only have a few bucks in change as I hardly use cash anymore.

[Lindsey]

22. I have a glass jar with some change. Probably about $25. n/t

[kentauros]

23. I tried the "jar o'change" once and never got it to work.

That is, I am a strange person: I actually use my change on a day-to-day basis so it never builds up


This is where my change goes before folding "flat" and going into my pocket:
