I do. There is no designated purpose for the accumulation. When the jar is filled, I cash it in.

I toss the change that ends up in the laundry in a pile. When there's a significant pile of it, I use the money-counter thing at the grocery store and use it for buying groceries.

My approach is more hoarding than saving. After all one never knows when you'll need a quarter for the Laundromat or a shilling for the meter--and I've had a washing machine for longer than Great Britain has had metric money.

I've got a money box for coppers... when I can't cram any more in I take it to the bank and pay it off my credit card. I'm boring!

No. I try to keep my spare change to a small amount, and use it as I go.

Sometimes I spend it on parking meters. Sometimes my change container will fill up (but that hasn't happened in a long time) and I'll take it to the bank & put it in savings.

I don't save
my spare change. I search for state quarters that my friend and I are
still looking for,
and then make a conscious effort to spend the change so my purse doesn't
get too heavy.

I only accumulate enough change to use in soda machines and the like.

I just kind of have my spare change laying around in different places. I don't save it up for anything. Usually I just end up giving it to my son.

Our family saves our change sin one of those big water jugs. We save it for vacation.

It isn't that I save it, I just don't like carrying it. We'll drop it in the Coinstar when the jar's full.

I save my change to use when I deliver pizzas. It comes in handy for giving change to customers. Also I save it to wash my car.
