Does anyone save all their loose change?

Our loose change goes in a Nightmare Before Christmas mug, to go towards tattoos for my OH

James&Shell

In our house we save all silver coins in mummy and daddys emergency box and all coppers in our one yer old sons box

we went on holiday recently and he had £8 in it so he got a new toy!

if you use the snowball calculator it is fascinating to see how much you save on interest by just adding the money in your piggy bank towards overpayment

We save all our 2p coins and when we go on holiday, the kids have a bag each to play in the arcade on the 2p machines.

I save £2 and 50p. The rest I spend unfortunately. I always try to give exact change and as I am trying to use markets etc, they are usually thankful for the change.

Not at the moment, but I think I should start doing so!

Small bits - ie under 5p ALWAYs are fed to my herd of debt cows... Once a week - generally Friday when I'm looking for 50ps to give the children their pocket money I also empty out ANYthing that isn't a £1, 50p to also put in the herd of debt cows. Any £2's that I get instantly go in the cows. This is emptied regularly and taken to the post office to be put in our 'holiday savings fund' Last deposit £15 !

had a big jar of change, came to about £50, these days I save some but mostly will put in charity collection pots by tills.

I do!

My mum bought me a coin sorter for Christmas last year so it sorts all the change nicely and counts it pretty well as well! I do double check it's counted properly though as the bank cashiers always look like they're laughing at you if the bag is only 98p instead of £1

I'd definately recommend putting a coin sorter on your Christmas list as it's soooooo much fun pressing the button and watching the coins go in their slots
