(146,351 posts)I can't stand to have change in my pocket, frankly, so any coins I get in change go in the 5-gallon plastic water bottle in my bedroom. It's not full, by far, and I've pretty much quit using cash in stores, but I still empty my pockets of change whenever there is any in there.
I'm pretty sure most people have a box or jar they put their change in these days. Once this COVID thing is gone, no doubt everyone will take all those coins and dump them back into circulation. Sadly, my local bank branch took out its public coin counter, for some reason, so even if the bank was open, I'd have no place to count all those coins. The CoinStar thing at the supermarket is too damned slow to use, in my opinion.
Eventually, though, I'm going to have to cash all of that change in.
