'I have a wallet and a purse for coins in my bag, i will not put any coins in my pocket as they are too heavy and will damage the pcoket of the jeans. I will get alot of coins everyday from the changes, I have a box at home for those coins'
How about you?? Do you just put the coins in your pocket?? And how do you deal with the coins you get everyday? Will you just leave them on your table or have a box to put them in??
Do share you thoughts:)

I put them in the "watch pocket" of my jeans. I've only ever had a problem with one of these not being able to hold up to the abuse - and I think the fabric wasn't a high quiality denim since I had problems with that pair of jeans anyway. Since I don't carry a wallet or a purse, I have to put the darn things some place!

These days I so rarely use cash that getting change is 'almost' a novelty .. I hate carrying around small change as it weighs me down .. if I get any change I always empty my purse out when I get home .. then every once in a while I take my hoarded coins and change them at my local post office ..

Last time, I used to put my coins in a piggy bank, then "upgraded" to leaving it on the table when the piggy gets too stuffed. When I got broke, these coins are precious. Nowadays, I try not to keep too much coins with me as it is heavy to carry around. Hence, I will used them up whenever applicable in place of dollar notes.

yes it is my "bad habbit" to put coins into pocket...it's the shortest way when Imake shopping. Then sometimes I start check all my pockets and gather up all coins into one place.
Some time ago I had such box for monets as u did. I tried to see how much of money I will get from change.
Till now I sometimes put change in to pockets. and know, if in the shop i will not have some monets in wallet, i can find it in pockets:)

If i would have 5 dollars in one coin, I would not search for monets to make 5 dollars:)

I use both but honestly my purse has a hole in it and often the change hides in there. I was gonna change purses but then I found 20 dollars in the hole when i thought i was broke so now i call it my hiding hole and when i get broke i shake the @###### out of my purse and then i have money! hooray!!

I have a wallet filled with coins. If they all can't fit in then i leave them in my purse pocket. When that gets full, I transfer them to my sons piggy bank. My hubby hates carrying coins so everyday he leaves them on the counter for me to use, and if not, they get placed into my sons piggy bank.

I always keep my money in a purse. I would lose it or spend ages rummaging through pockets or my bag to find it!
Very small change goes in a jar at home and saves up.

I usually put my coins in my coat pocket cause i haven't been bringing my purse with me. Sometimes i feel like I am walking lop sided cause I have to many coins. I went to one store yesterday and the lady was looking for change so I said well boy have I got a lot for you, she cleaned me out and i felt 10 pounds lighter..lol

I do have separate purse for my coins and a wallet for the bill, it's very convenient. I use public transpo and it's better to have coins for fare. I place the 5 peso coins in the piggy bank.

Change is always a constant issue for me. Luckily I got a great Coach wallet for my birthday and it is a small, but very organized wallet that allows me to keep some change in the back zippered pouch. Excess change goes into a jar and when it's filled I take it to my bank's coin exchange machine (it's free to use) and I either put that money into my checking account or take it out in cash.
