one cent counted... The coins are precious!  

Yes, indeed it is one of the best way that one can achieved much savings via accumulation method. But as much as I would want to do that, I don't always remembers to pour my coins to my piggy bank daily, so I haven't really accumulate much savings or have consistent savings.

sidetracked a bit: It's the same concept of paid to click sites, accumulation. Thus, I am earning little daily hopefully even for a little but consistent earning monthly. Cheers

Hey I'm doing this too. I save on my coins and put it in the piggy bank. But it has been helpful for me. Usually, I would save up especially for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. The last biggest saving i did for like 8 months of my coins reached the amount of P13,000 or $280. It was quite a huge amount already especially that it came from P5 - P10. It pays when you save, you'll have money for emergencies.

I strongly agree. Although the coins were little, but too long will become a hill, a small hill and turn into a giant hill. When we ran out of money, that money is very profitable.

When I lived in NYC, I saved my change in a coffee cup. Every day when I got home, I'd put whatever coins I had in my pocket in that coffee cup. On the first Saturday of every month, I took it to a grocery store across the street. They had this machine that you just poured the coins in. The machine counted and sorted it and then gave you paper bills in exchange. The machine kept 10% (I think it was) but it was worth it to use simply for the convenience of it. Banks no longer accepted coins unless you had an account there so to go and dump them in the machine was great to be able to do! I used to get around $20 a week that way! That's $80 a month. It was enough to pay one of my monthly expenses, that's for sure!
