Do you keep or save your coins?  email this discussion to a friend?

Do you stash your coins in a piggy bank (or something like that)? Do you still keep even the coins with low values and see if you can make a big amount of savings with them?

Well, my cousin used to save coins (even those which had a SUPER LOW VALUE already in the market), and when she counted her coin savings, it really amounted to something BIG. So from then on, I keep every coin I see, no matter how small its value is.

It's really surprising how several coins with low values can amount to something so big.

So, do you also save coins?

myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

That's good to hear! I don't really use a huge jar, but I might try that. Because when I use a coin bank that can easily be opened and closed, I tend to get some coins whenever I need money, so I don't consistently save up. Lol

Yes, in fact I do stash my coins. I however, won't use them unless I am in dire need of money since I'm a student and there are times in a month where I don't even have a dime to spend on food. Also, I play low stake/limit poker using my coins with my friends for fun.

When I was young I do. But now I don't. I realize that by using my coins. I can save more.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

I think I get what you mean. If you use your coins, you can save bills instead. Lol

I save the biggest coins in my currency. It´s also part of my vacation money (I also save all my online earnings). The lowest, I leave in the kitchen and use them to buy eggs.
I wouldn´t throw away a coin no matter how low value it is.happy

Yes I have a something like plastic box which can separate the value of coins,from $1o-.05 cents lol. In my place we have a $10 coins which I use to keep for general purposes.I find it useful to have coins ready for some small transactions or purpose.
Happy myLotting and Good day!happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

I usually just use coins for commuting, because when riding a jeepney, it's hard to pay with a paper bill (I think you get what I mean. Lol) A plastic box is a nice idea. I like to keep things organized, so I guess I'll try getting one for my coins. So it'll be easier to get them. Hahaha

I haven't saved that much amount with just coins! So that's around P400-P500, right? Wow. Lol

Hi! I also keeps my coins. I actually have some coin collection from as old as my great grandpa. My mother thought me to put some coins in every corner of the house inside before the new year eve comes. And never collect them. Just let it stay there for the whole year.
The coin collection that I have, some of it are can be sold out or can be bid. Many co-coin collectors that I know is asking me to sell it all to them. But I chose to keep them. Not for myself. But I do believe that if I will keep them for another long years, time will come that the price for each coin will get higher in he market. As I know, the older the coin, the higher price you can get :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

We also have some old coins collection here in our house, collected by my mother. Lol. And we don't place coins in corners. Haha, I never knew about that superstition. Thanks for sharing! :)

well
i did this last year
i was saving all coins i was usually leaving with the line "keep the change" :)
after almoust a year i ended up with a big amount ... wich may seem nice but i had some difficulties getting rid of... not many salesman are fond of this currency and i was alawys around my neihborhood trying to buy cheap things so i don end up handing sacks of coins to buy a botle of coca cola :)
It s ok to save this way as long as you have a source that can exchange it from time to time.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

That's nice that you ended up with a big amount. :) You should've went to the bank and have it exchanged with some paper bills. I know banks can do that, so yea. Do that next time so you won't be hassled anymore. :)


myLot reputation of 78/100. drkraven (394)   ranked 1,831 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

yeah in your country not in mine :) i tought that to and i went to a few banks... all of them had big signs : We do not exchange coins ! :)) but i sort of managed to spend it bit by bit everyday buying bread and very cheap things that i usually just throw in the basket :) it was a good experience since now i know what prices those "little" things have and i can make myself an ideea about wich store has better prices :)

My family saves the coins we get from either the grocery store or wherever we get loose change. It come in really handy if you need a little money now and then. Now even today we have about half a bowl of change and I will probably go and cash it in to get some money for gas.happy

I save all of the change I get, store it in plastic box and wait until it gets semi-full to take it to the bank coin counter, it usually adds up to a few hundred dollars when I go to the coin counter which is plenty good for me.

It's kind of shocking how much some people save up in change, one of my friends used the coin counter with a few bags of small change she got while shopping, and she literally had enough to go on a vacation. Guess the old saying "every penny helps" isn't a joke.


myLot reputation of 96/100. jeeyah (259)   ranked 1,518 out of 26,160 in make extra money  2 years ago

Wow, I don't know if I can ever save that much change! It'd be really nice if I can save up enough just to buy a gadget or something. Lol. I guess I really should take my coin-saving seriously from now on.
