I roll my spare change and when it hits $25 I take it to the bank and buy a $50 savings bond for one of the grandkids. I start it making money asap. I used to take vacations on my change. It paid for my airfares.

I have paid for 2 airline tickets to Mexico, Lasik surgery, a good chunk towards a pellet stove and recently a bit towards sons tuition with change...and thats just dimes and quarters. Grandson gets the pennies and nickels!

My husband likes spare change. In fact, he would even look at my bag, drawers to see if he could find something at least once a week. The collection of these spare change us has saved us several times when we were short in an emergency even up to a thousand dollars. My suggestion is get those coin sorters they see at the mall like in macy or costco. If coinstar is charging that much it would be so much better to have one of this coin sorters that you could use year after year.

I just went to a CoinStar to empty my tsedakah coin collection - money my family contributes over the year to be donated to charity. I hated the idea of forking over 8.9% to CoinStar for its service fee, but also didn't want to spend the time counting out $45 worth of change in pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters.... Lo and behold, for no charge to the contributer, CoinStar will direct your contribution to one of five great charities.
