I do, because I find it's great to save money and then when you have an emergancy it comes in handy. Do you see the sense in it?

I collect all the lose change I get into different containers.. in that I sort out the pennies, the dimes, the nickels and the quarters.. I do it for a couple of reasons....
Its easier to figure out how much one has :)
I also collect coins, so when I have some free time, I go through the different jars looking through the coins for specific coins of interest. The rest, I use as change.. :)

We do. When we go on vacation, the kids take it in to get it counted. They split up the amount between them and that is their spending money. Last year they each got a little over $50 (three kids).

We have a family piggy bank and the kids just turned it all in to get a dog from the SPCA.

My kids do....large ceramic ones that have no stopper to take out the coins. I don't think either have a desire to break theirs. We also have a jar we fill with pennies and a dish that is always full of coins...not to mention all the coins in the car...

Yep, my daughter has a huge piggy bank with her name on it that I put my unwanted loose change into. When I get to about $100 I'm going to open a savings account for her.
