This. If you have to avoid sick people, start with Purrell addicts.

I bring any coin change I get, back home to my daughter. We sit down together and she separates quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. We have 4 of the old five gallon glass jugs, for each denomination, and I have her put the coins in the right jug, and have her guess at how much money she has.

I know that one of these days, she's gonna say " tree fiddy", and I will know that I'm a good Dad.

Depends where I’m going. Sometimes you need change for vending machines.

It goes from my pocket into to the five gallon water bottle I keep as a change jug. I cash it in every two or three years for some extra vacation spending money. Usually get about tree fiddy out of it.

This. I never leave home with coins in my pocket, but sometimes return to home with them. Most times I put them in my truck. Quarters in center console, everything else in a container on the floor. I use the coins at a drive through if I'm paying with cash.

This all day long.

I feel like the several years I recently spent living the dirty old French Quarter, and the highly "non-sterile lifestyle" that entails, have my immune system in top shape.

Isn't there also evidence that sterile living causes auto-immune problems? With nothing else to do, the immune system attacks your own body.

I keep a crown royal bag of quarters only in the console of my truck so I can pressure wash my boat and cargo trailer. Other than that any change goes in my daughter's piggy bank and then to the bank and dumped into the auto counter.
Change isn't worth the space it takes up.

I like to carry a few coins in my pocket just to jingle around when my hand is in my pocket.

Sometimes it's as small as 50 cents a skin so nice to have a bag of quarters when I inevitably have to pay out.

No cash, and definitely never ever ever carry coins.

Why would I?

Which bank still has this? The capital one downtown used to have one several years ago. Now it seems we have pay CoinStar something like 13% or wrap it ourselves. And yes Coinstar says they will give you an amazon gift card for no fee, but every time I've tried the gift cards, the options are shite like Applebees or something else I'd never use.

Only when I pay cash for something and get change back. I hate having stuff in my pockets.

I rarely have coins because I don't use cash very much. I used to get about $80 every week because the little mom and pop restaurant down the road from work didn't accept plastic until maybe a year ago. I would get change from there all the time and whatever I had left over at the end of the week, bill wise, would usually go into the gas tank. I'd then gather up all the coins that accumulated in the cup holder of the truck that week and it went into my kid's piggy bank along with there weekly allowance for chores.

I do miss the days when me and my dad would fill one of those big water jugs (5 gallons, I think) they have in offices up with our change. I remember the first time we cashed it in we had enough money to buy a nice pool table for his man cave. It took us over 3 years to fill that thing up.

I don’t carry change. If I pay with cash (which is rare), I’ll take the change and throw it in cup holder
