Brother, can you spare a dime?

[SourdoughStomper]

I do not often have change on me. The consequence of owning a debit card, no doubt. I sometimes wish I had cash on me instead of just a card.

That said, I have been known to use spare change for the parking meter. Or to give to a child who wants to buy a small treat. I will also put it in the offering plate on Sunday.

What about you?

[melodys_angel]

Its usually timmies change--though I treat others, not just me

[Leave a Whisper]

I save the quarters for stamps n stuff. I give some to my kid and some to the homeless when I have it on me.

I have a jar that I put it in, and then when it is filled up I use it to get something I wouldn't usually buy for myself. Usually, I cash my jar in right before an anime convention so I can go a little wild in the dealers room haha.  Currently, however, the jar I am filling now will be cashed in for Breyerfest this summer 

Honestly, I get a little bit obsessed with filling my jar to the point where, if for example sometimes if I get tea at Starbucks, and the total was $3.50 or something and I paid with a $5, rather than throwing the 50 cents in the tip jar, I'll put in the dollar instead so I can keep the quarters.  A bit silly, maybe, but hey, I get to fill my jar faster, and someone gets a bigger tip so it all works out in the end!

Granted, a lot of the time I have trouble remembering to get the change out of my purse, so right now my purse weighs soooo much because of all the loose change that's fallen out of my wallet.  This happens every so often and whenever I finally get around to putting the coins in the jar, I'm amazed by how much less my purse weighs!!

With my job, I end up with too much of it, and my bank doesn't accept change unless it's rolled. I easily exceed $50 in coins at a time and my wallet barely closes as a result. So I use it if I'm making a purchase under $20 and don't want to use credit (which is my main form of payment). At least we don't have pennies anymore so I can't be 'that guy'. 

Oh, and of course, I use change for bus fare.

My pennies go into my childhood piggy bank. I don't know what I plan to do with them yet. Quarters go into my laundry bag because I need them for laundry. The rest Go in a drawer that I will eventually cash in if I ever get a hold of some sleeves to roll them.

I have a giant demonic looking Winnie The Pooh bank from Mexico that I store all my change in.

I selected that I "save it, but cash it in regularly."

I have this triceratops bank that I got at the Smithsonian gift shop when I was like 5, and I put any loose change into it - whether it's change from paying cash for something, or change I found lying about (yes, I'm one of those people who picks up random coins they see in the street, lol. It adds up!)

Once my bank is full, I take it to my credit union's local branch. They have a coin dump thing where you enter in your account number, then dump all the coins into the machine. The machine counts it up and automatically deposits the amount to the account you specified, with no usage fee. I love it! So much more convenient than rolling all the coins then standing in line for a teller to deposit them, lol.

Like most people these days, I use plastic 99% when shopping for whatever. Here in Sweden, we (the government) strive for a cash free society, which is probably easiest for the younger generations. But I do get change from time to time, mostly after recycling soda/water bottles which you in return get money for which I save in a jar for sometime up to a year. Once the jar is nearly full, I deposit the money into my savings account.

I have a Littlest Pet Shop plastic piggy bank from the 90s I store all my change in. Once its full I cash it in for a toy haha. I use all my extra laundry money, spare change, and any single bills I end up with. Last time it was about $50 and a great surprise

[invaderhorizongreen]

Mine goes into a glow in the dark skeleton piggy bank.

[Carrehz]

I keep my spare change in a "paint it yourself" piggy bank.. or kitty bank, rather, since it's shaped like a cat. :B I painted it to look like one of my characters.

I have a debitcard and rarely uses cash. Several years ago I put all my change in a bucket and when it was full I walked into the bank and deposited them into my savingsaccount. But as the banks thrives to be cashfree nowadays it's not really an option. I usually bring whatever change I have to the fleemarkets and pay any finds with them. This year we're getting new coins so I've been really careful not to have too many lying around so it wont be a problem when the old ones get invalid next year.

here in canada 1$ and 2$ have their own coins, so i use change quiet a lot. I have a little coin purse that i keep in my bag. I try to use change as much as i can, and avoid using bills or my cards.
