loose change

[blueballs]

Do you save your spare change
-what do you spend it on
-what are you planning on spending it on

[ChiefaRoo]

I save it in large jars and when I order in food like pizza I pay for it with the change. The pizza guys always look at me strange but I tip them a few bucks and everyone is happy.

I have a cigar box i put it in. When it gets full to the top I just take it to my bank because it has one of the change venders that is actually owned by the bank and not ****ing Coin Star. Usually when it gets to the top it can hold about $70 in it, depending if there are alot of quarters. I spend a lot of it on meter parking downtown and on MU campus. Or a lot of times before work I go to the gas station on the corner and get a 66oz drink for around 70cents.

You pay them in change and only tip a couple of bucks? If I was your pizza guy, I'd give the tip back and say that you need it more than I do.

I save it in jars and call it the trip fund and cash it in right before I go on a vacation. Usually an extra $100-500

Dude, you have to understand. I can get a kick ass 10" pizza from a local pizza joint that is literally next door to me and it only costs $7.25 with two toppings. On top of that it's the best pizza I've ever had. The guys just walk it over, about 100ft. I give them ten bucks and it's all good. You see living in Wichita has some nice advantages.

Same here. I opened an account at the local bank where they have a coin counter machine that is free for their customers. I keep it in a jar and when it gets full I take it to the bank, count it, and deposit it.

I have a keg-o-rator in my kitchen, and I have a spare change jar on top of that. All that money goes to the new kegs.

[seclark]

save all mine in a coffee can.
the wife and daughter always steal the quarters out of it, so it never amounts to too much, although i kept it hid once and got over $400 out of it. the wife used it to buy f@ckin curtains.

Same here. We will have an extra $400-$500 to take to Vegas with us in October.

[Rausch]

I don't save it.

I'd just spend it on drugs or alcohol anyway...

When I was a kid, I collected all the spare change I could, and put it in a huge plastic Mickey Mouse that my old man converted into a piggy bank. I would fill it with coins, and take it to the bank and get cash, then put the cash in the bottom and start over, not spending any. My parents shit their pants when I amassed $213 over about 3 years. As an 80s kid, I might as well have been a millionaire... My first purchase was the coolest BB gun you've ever laid eyes on. I was so proud of that....

Guess how pissed I was when they made me share some of my savings with my younger sister, who didn't have the patience to save 2 nickels....

Classic case of redistribution of wealth.

[DaFace]

I use plastic whenever possible, so I rarely have loose change. When I do, I either throw it in a jar we have at home or, more often, put it in these little "donate to the homeless" parking meters they have here in downtown Denver.

[El Jefe]

Just recently I collected every penny I could, I seperate the pennies from the silver. Anyways, I had $50 in pennies, that was pretty nice, but it only got me 3/4 of a tank of gas in my 84 Buick though LOL.

[El Jefe]

*Recently meaning I cashed them in recently, not gathered them recently.

[Phobia]

We used to. We always used it for a weekend at a B&B or to do something nice on vacation.

A couple Christmases ago I got a "golf fund" jar. I presume I'm supposed to use it to pay for a round of golf. It's been full for about 6 months. I'm guessing there's $80+ in there.

[FAX]

I put my change in an old, wooden bucket. I think it was a frontier butter bucket or something. When it's full, I take it to the overpass and throw quarters at cars.

Why? All they'll do is use it to buy soup to throw at tax-paying citizens.

[RockChalk]

i put it in a can and cash it when it's full. usually just spend it on shots for my friends when we go out

[HonestChieffan]

Fax, you can play longer if you use nickles.

[boogblaster]

we save it in a jar..usually gets spent on xmas presents ...

[el borracho]

I keep my change in my truck. Usually, I grab a pocketful of change whenever I know I'm going to buy something with cash so I really never end up with a lot. In the rare times I have a bunch of change I use Coinstar.

I have this bad boy. .00002 horsepower of coin sorting thunder.

When I get enough saved up, I go to some foreign land and get mild dysentery.

Wow. Your family had its own welfare system? Did your younger sister then get pregnant so that you had to give her your cheese at dinner?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

my wife is a waitress and makes about 7-10 bucks a day in change. we put it in a jar and buy chiefs tickets with it.

Do you ever ravage her the minute she walks in the door while still wearing her chili's uniform? I would, I'd be like "how do you like this refill?"

I'm just saying you have to keep it interesting. ;)

[OctoberFart]

We should all pool our loose change and by GOQUEER a hooker so he can get laid.

Your sister wasn't named FICA was she?

Let's not talk about my sister.........

[Stewie]

I save mine in a coffee can. I take it to the bank just to watch the new self-serve coin counting machine grind through coins and god knows what else ended up in the coffee can. It then spits out a little receipt and those numbers show up as cash or numbers in my account. It's like gambling, but I always win.
