Do you Save Pennies?

yep! I save them. Every penny does count, but I have a "game plan" for mine. I had the wonderful privilege of being a bartender and the bar itself had a penny counter top. It has pennies on top of plywood and a think layer of polyurethane on top of it. Since I do a bit of carpenter work, myself... I am planning on making something with pennies and I will take a picture of it and show you, later! No, it isn't a bar top!

I don't think saving any amount of money is a waste of time. I rarely use cash, but I tend to keep one or two of each denomination of coins in my wallet and put the rest in a large bottle. I had quite a bit saved up until last year when I had to use the laundromat a few times and that ate up all my quarters. I takes me forever to accumulate anything because I use cash so little, but it does add up eventually.

Yeah, sometimes but not all the time. I usually use pennies for transpo fare and simply for expenses. I prefer saving cash notes than coins. I find pennies heavy on weight particularly if their too many already.

I save pennies and other change every chance I get. I got one of those money counters and put my change in it. I so far have twenty dollars counted up. I got a fortune cookie tin that has a bunch of pennies in it that I need to count up. I don't think it is a waste of time to save up change because like you said, you never know when you need it. Happy mylotting!

yes, but I'm a careless person, so sometimes i loss the money and I always forgot where i put the money. But its a good habit. Once I had to many penny and it's troublesome to me to go to bank, so I used all the penny and people start to look weirdly at me. sometime it embarrassing, but at time it so funny.

I always save my change. I too am a firm believer in "every cent counts." I don't seperate my pennies from the rest of my change, but I do pick up pennies when I find them. Whenever I cash in my change it's always a decent amount, like upwards of $200. I usually put it towards whatever project we are working on at the time. Now, I am trying to get a nice queen sized bed frame.

You are alot like me. I save my change, and always try to use paper money and when i get my change i save it. Once i live one month of that particular savings. Keep it up.

I do save pennies and every other bit of change. I also put aside the money I save with coupons, if I use a 40 cent coupon that money goes in the change jar. It's come in handy sometimes but I usually roll it and deposit it in my savings account. It's always wise to save for a rainy day!

I used to work as a teacher. Eating at the school canteen was cheap. I would save the pennies I get and bring it to work. I use the pennies to buy food at the canteen. The canteen vendors also appreciate me giving coins since they really need a lot of them on a daily basis. But now I don't save the pennies anymore, I spend it on small items. I bring them to nearby shops and spend it on newspapers or sweets. I guess it is my way to beat the inflation. When I bring coins, I feel poor and will not spend too much. If I bring notes to the shop, I tend to buy things I don't really need. I have saved some coins and recently I saw that they have installed an automated machine outside the bank for people to deposit their coins. Before this, we have to queue up at the banks to have our coins deposited. There is also a small fee for that. So I don't deposit them at the banks.

Hi, I do save on the coins that come with Indian currency - called as Paisas . These do help ;even though sometimes; they just keep lying for days altogether . Regards

Yes, I save pennies and every other kind of coin. I think it's exciting to take it to the bank and exchange it for cash. It's like winning a small lottery. I usually just add the money to my monthly budget for extra spending money. I agree, it really does add up, so it's definitely worth it!

Yes, i do save some penny, when i got a change from shopping i put them on my shoe money box and my baby money box. My husband separated 1 cents to 50 cents or 20 cents. Then when it's ready for depositing in the bank we put them on our savings account. Every penny is important and it's not waste of time. We need every penny and we don't waste it. Without a penny there's no millions. Happy posting.

Man, I have to be honest, I'm guilty of saving pennies. But most of the time it doens't seem worth the effort.

Yes, I always save pennies! A friend of mine never keep pennies, she said they are too heavy and she can't find any place for those pennies in her wallet. But I don't think so! Every little makes a mickle. Do you agree with me?

The photo added here is a 7 lb container from dog food. My wife is a waitress and gets tons of change monthly as tips. We save pennies and nickles. Pennies due to the amount of them she gets as change for tips. And the nickles due to their weight in our pockets and her purse. Right now in this pail there is roughly $20 I'd say. We save them till almost full then cash them in for slot machine money when we visit a local casino. When full this container contains roughly $90 in pennies. Lot's of fun on the 1 and 2 cent slot machines saved in this container. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I do save our pennies and any change we get our hands on. It goes into the kids piggy bank. It also goes to teaching my kids how much one coin is worth over another ect. I keep hoping they'll add up and buy us a mansion one day! *LMAO* But IRL when I go to the bank I take all the change in as it doesn't do anyone any good sitting in the house out of circulation (ie keeping them out of circulation causes them to loose value, as they'll mint more to keep circulation up to meed demands) and not earning interest.

I also save my change. I put it in a jar-don't separate it much except for the quarters which I use for laundry. I also feel the same way, every penny counts and I always pick up change from parking lots, sidewalks,etc. After all, like Ben Franklin quoted:"A penny saved is a penny earned." Have a great day!

I save my pennies. I save all my change. I never spend change. I just drop em in the bottom of my bag. When i clean out my bag i save the change in a cash box. Once i get enough saved up i take them to the bank and deposit them in my saving account.

Hi Lindsay,Yes, I save pennies and other change.I keep the pennies separate too.A lot of people throw pennies away.I have found several in the same place.I always pick them up when I see them.They do amount up.I once gave my Dad two big coffee cans full.Sometimes I will leave them in a store for when someone might need one. I certainly don't think it is a waste of time to save pennies.Keep on saving and have a good day.

Hi lindsaykaye82 I do save pennies, and two pences and five pences as well, in my little money box. When it gets full I go through it all and fill up those plastic money bags you get from the bank and put it into my account. It used to fill up fairly often, but to be honest I don't use cash as much these days, I tend to either shop online or use my debit/credit cards, so I don't have as much change rattling around in my purse to get rid of. It's been a while now since I last had to empty the money box! :o( Best wishes, T :o)
