for some reason, even if i have a wallet in my bag, i still feel comfortable to bring with me a coin purse, i guess because it's convenient when i try to find loose change. how about you guys, you still use a coin purse?

I still use a change purse. I hate to dig in my purse for change, I carry a big purse. I hardly ever use my change. I always break $1.00 bills, I am trying to get out of this habit because the change makes my purse real heavy.

Depending on the type of bag I use. It the bag already has a seperate pocket - I dont use the coing bag. But I personally think that it is better to carry the coin purse. It is convienient to carry the cahnges and you dont have to be searching your whole bag when all you need is a few changes....

I don't have a wallet. I just use my organizer for my bills. That's why I use a coin purse. It was a gift from a friend. Since I commute through a public vehicle almost every time, I just bring my coin purse with me wherever I go.

Hi dare2fail. I don't use a coin purse. I put my money in the pocket of my purse. I don't have that much money that I carry around so I don't use anything but my purse. Have a good lotting day.

hi shar.. well, i hope that your purse is still being used by your daughter. see, sometimes the kids starts to be interested and the excitement gets lot and the thing always gets lost. i think thats pretty nice that you have coin jars at home. reminds me the movie of journey to the center of the earth where they used all those quarted dollars for their expenses. really brilliant1 have a great day!

I do! Maybe because my wallet is too small so I opt to keep a small coin purse for some change and so that I need not to open my wallet in a public transportation to pay my fare. It is helpful because it carries your coins instead of just putting it in you bag or pocket. Coins are usually dirty which can make you bag or pockets dirty as well. If I don't have a coin purse, it is usually hard for me to look for coins inside my bag.

No, but I will always make sure that my wallet has the zip pocket to keep coins. So far, I have not been using any coin purse yet. I think it is not convenient to put money in 2 different purses when going out.

I no longer use a coin purse. I'm comfortable with my wallet anyway, it has a space for coins. Though, not enough. Perhaps, I'm just too lazy to carry a coin purse.

I have never used a coin purse. I just dig for the change in the bottom of my purse. Wow, I always thought I was pretty organized until just this moment!
