Brother, can you spare a dime?

It's in my son's piggy bank for him to use in the future.

I have a small bowl on my laundry room that collects all loose change, every few months ill turn it in and deposit it into my savings account lol, its usually just around $10

For the most part, I just use my card, but whenever I have cash, I'll just put the change in a coin pouch in my glovebox. Sometimes I'll take the pennies out of it and put them all in a piggy bank.

I use a mix of cash and debit. I use to use mostly cash, but after getting a new bank account I find myself using debit more. It really depends what I'm buying and what options a shopping location has available.

The only real downside to debit is that you have to pay for it. Knowing what it's actually costing you, and making sure you're not paying a ton of unnecessary fees, is key.

My literal change, I dump it in my purse. I then use it in the vending machines at work for snacks and sodas, or other foods like nasty soy burgers when I am too lazy to go out for lunch. Those Big Az burgers are disgusting but they fill you up. And they don't look nearly as good as the picture.

I try to save my quarters for things that need them like parking, but I use my smaller change pretty often if something only needs like 20 cents or less I always have it.

I've got a couple of big jars in case I ever find myself playing poker again.

I use my change unless I get a few too many pennies, at which point I put them in a jar. At one point I had over $20 in pennies in it.

[QueenStarglow]

I have a piggy bank (literally a coin bank shaped like a pig because why not) and all our spare change goes in there. I do keep some on me in a coin purse, but every few years I cash in the piggy bank at the actual bank.

We don't have change often b/c we pay most things with debit/credit - usually just from laundry. I'll save up the small stuff over the year for when the ice cream truck comes around in the summer, since it only takes cash.

[ringwraith10]

Quarters used to go to laundry, but now I have a washer and dryer so they are saved for the vending machine. Pennies always go to charity. I save up my pennies until I find a place I can "dump" them -- the last time I was at a wildlife reserve they had one of those boxes for cash donations and I think I gave them several dollars in pennies!

[BethyVic]

I use both cash and credit cards.  I put all my loose change in a piggy bank.  When my goddaughter visits for the summer or Christmas, we go to the coin sort at the bank and I let her spend it as an allowance.

Here? All my yens go into capsul machines.
USA - i use mostly debit card

I picked 'use it when buying things', which is true most of the time, although we also have a small jar. I call it bus money. But I rarely remember to use any of it, or put my change in, so it doesn't really fill up. 

I mostly use the card but I try to keep a small amount of cash with me at all times, for some reason I prefer to use the card only for purchases over 5€. I buy a lot of small stuff (snacks, bus tickets etc.) so coins are no problem.

It's called the carboot sale fund

Although I also put change in charity jars, I prefer to do charity stuff online and I don't really like getting my purse out on the street in London, so not so much this any more unless it's a pot on the till when I'm buying something in a shop or a restaurant.

I used to need it for the bus but now I have my pass and most of the time if I need to use a bus outside of the hours the pass is valid, I'm in London, and that's a cash-free zone; it's all contactless or oyster.

So yep. It goes in the carboot sale fund.
