Cashed In!!

We save change and cash it in occassionaly. The most I've ever cashed in was $235.

So is that a gallon pail? Yeah, I save pennies. It is something I have been doing for years. I have never cashed more than a couple of bucks in at a time. I have probably ten, fifteen dollars worth of pennies in various jars around my office. I really should cash them in all at once. It would be a nice addition to my savings account.

A couple of years ago my husband and I cashed in all his wrapped change, it valued around $400. Was a huge mix of coins, very heavy too. Glad I didn't have to cary it myself, there was just too much of it.

I save all of my change in a gallon milk jug. Pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters along with an occassional dollar bill...the quarters and paper money usually get taken out again at some point but the rest stay in. I've been doing this since the weekend after Labor Day and it's about 1/3 full. I have to share the story of why I chose the milk jug...The weekend after Labor Day our truck got wrecked, it was totalled, all 3 of the boys' carseats were ruined, the pizza got glass in it, and the gallon of milk fell out and bounced on the road into the ditch....BUT it didn't break or leak. The plastic milk jug was the only thing that survived the crash (besides the guy driving the truck of course!), I couldn't very well through it away! So I kept it for my new piggy bank.

We save all of our change through the year and then turn it in at the bank and use the money for Christmas presents. We have two jars one for silver and one for pennies, but when we bring it to the bank we put everything in one big box. This year we had 425.00. Good luck at the casino, come back a big winner.

I have never been able to save any amount of change. I had built up about fifty cents worth of pennies, and my daughter comes asking me for some money. So I gave them to her. Maybe one day I will be able to save some change up to the amount that you have. The reason I gave her the pennies, is because I rather give her that and have to count them. LOL

it has always been said a penny saved is a penny earned . Ya did good. WE have a big jug that we put all coins in but lately it has been robbed to buy food as checks just arent going far enough right now lol. I will be lucky to have $20 to play when my son gets here but we wil find other things to do that is free! lol have a good time and Merry Christmas and Hapy New Year to you and yours

That's a great way of saving for extra gambling money... well done! I save pennies... we have 1p and 2p coins, then I bag them up and distribute them between my five grandchildren by depositing them in the bank accounts I opened for each of them. Brightest Blessings... hope you win big with your penny funds!

I have a glass jug at work that I put pennies in, but I have yet to cash in that stash, the jug is only about 1/3 full. I think when it is full, it will hold about$30-$40 (just a guess, though). We also have a few bowls at home that we put our loose change in. When they start to get full, my BF wraps the coins and exchanges them at the bank for paper money. Usually, it is only $20 or so worth of change.

My husband uses a large Pringles can it is over three quarters full now! don't ask me how much is in there as it is not all pennies! We should cash in that dough soon I suppose! Merry Christmas! ~Heavens~

I've been saving pennies for years. I have some mason jars filled with pennies lined up on shelves in my basement. Once I counted how many pennies I had in a jar, and it was just over $30 dollars. I don't have any plans for the pennies right now, I just like to save them. I have thought about taking some to the casino to use in the penny machines, and I might do that some time.

I do not save pennies or any change. When I do my husband takes it and spends it as fast as I save it. I cannot even keep change in my consol of my car. Oh well some people just have to spend your money and he is one of them

I save pennies for the grandkids in one of those tins with popcorn in it that you get for Christmas. The last time they cashed them in they each had over twenty bucks.....and there are four of them! It's about due soon to be cashed in again and I can't lift it anymore! LOL

that's impressive. that means that you had 4925 pennies? almost five thousand - it must be super heavy. Over here, the equivalent is the 5 cent coin, which no one really uses and some firms refuse to accept even though it is legal tender. i have a friend who used to save dollar coins and said that was for her fund to buy a car. at the rate car prices are going in my country, i think it would be many many more years before she saves enough. :)

We have a coffee can that we use for pennies. I have saved them for quite a while now. Doubtful that we will get rich when and if we cash them in. I do save other change and we are now planning to keep it for vacation next summer.

We save almost all our change. Pennies, nickels, and dimes go into one container (we use the cups that you can get at a casino) and quarters go into another one. We seperate the quarters from the rest of the change to use for laundry money. The last time we cashed in our pennies, nickels, and dimes container, I believe we had about $100. It was awesome! Lol :)

LOL "piggy pail" I love it!! I have various penny/change jars around the house but having one big pail is a brilliant idea!! My husband rolled a bunch of change some time ago that we've not cashed in yet (theres close to $80) and I've not rolled all my change jars though....I think come spring we should roll up and cash in the rest of it :-D

I sure do have a place to save my pennies! I save all my dollars and when they reach $100, I take them to the bank! I also save any silver coins I have in an empty Whisky container, and have reached $80 in there! You don't miss putting all these coins away, and get a lovely surprise when you count it all - it has come in very useful at times.

Well good for you, now use the penny money for seed and watch it grow at the casino. I have a lot of pennies that have been saved over the years, why? good question. We don't go gambling. Interesting enough though I thought I'd share this little tid bit with you. My hubby has a cell phone and the case it's in closes by means of a magnet flob if you get what I'm trying to say. Anyway his cell phone was on the coffee table and he was getting ready for bed and happened to have some change in his pocket and he carelessly threw down the change. He said to me, "Well look at this." I looked to see what he was telling me and it turns out two of his pennies stuck to the magnet which would indicate they were not copper or they wouldn't do that. Of course I had to try all my pennies and yes they did stick, so I went to one of my old penny jars and not one of those pennies stuck to the magnet. Well...Now do I want to spend my pennies or not? They probably won't be worth anything much in my life time but I have two grandchildren that may want them when they grow up. Just thought I'd share that. Thanks, Merry Christmas folks.

webeishere my husband and I save all our change we cash it in once a year and usually end up with 300 to 350 then we take a weekend out of town trip this is usually enough for our motel room and gas so we don't have to take our trip out of our pocket because we saved change. Have A great Holiday!
