Hello mylotter! I hate to keep cylings in my pocket. It is because my pocket will be heavier. So what I did to my coins is keep it in another place and use it if I want to buy a bus ticket or buy a soft drink. How about you? Do you keep your coins in your pocket instead of leave it in your room?

Then, what if you collect big amount of it? Do you use it to purchase something or change it at the bank?

The coins i save is for spending on Christmas for my godchildren, nieces and nephews. In some instances i also save to give to my grand uncle on Christmas. Its my main reason why i collect coins to save.

previously i use to keep coins in my pockets but after getting a wallet i use that only to keep the coins as it looks very odd to take out the coins direct from the pockets in front of the strangers as well as friends ..what do you think about this ?

Hoho,,I did the same, I keep coins in spare place, then If I want to use it, I just take out some. I feel little bit shy if I take out the coins and hear the voice because I want to take the exact coin.

I don't keep coins in my pockets either, unless I find a coin on the ground, I might put it in my jeans or jacket pocket. I like to put it straight into my wallet, and I admit sometimes I leave my coins in my room. It's good to collect coins as change, put it in a little envelope and then take a trip to the bank. =) Even in the end if the coins only add upto $3.25. Well you could buy a nice sandwhich. =)

Yes, I have a little bag is for keeping coins, when I shop, if I only need couple coins to round up, I canuse it so I don't get a bunch of coins changes back; when I get the, I keep them in a jar though and save them, wrap them up for paper bills.

Hello friend, It is such a simple topic but still, I had never thought about it till I read your discussion.. I like to keep my things organised. I keep the coins in my wallet itself, in a separate pocket specially designed for them.I don't like the noise of coins while walking if I put them all in my pocket. It irritates me.

I can't stand having coins in my pockets or my wallet. If coins are in my pocket then the clang around in there while I walk and it gets annoying. If they are in my wallet, it makes it bulky and very uncomfortable in my back pocket. So I keep all my coins either in a jar at home or in my car.

I have not kept any coins in my pocket for a number of years! I'm just thinking about all that jangling and noise!!! Well, I use a card to pay for everything now so I don't have the need to use coins. The only time I handle real money is when I have to top up my electricity meter or something and then I end up with some loose change but not enough to be a tremendous weight. Andrew

I don't keep coins in my pocket, most of my dresses don't have a pocket. Lol. I don't keep coins in my purse too. I have a seperate small purse only to keep coins. I got it as a gift from one of my colleagues. I am very happy if I see that my coin purse is full. I keep breaking down notes and adding to the coin purse.

I keep coins in a small pouch and dump them into my back pack. I always go around with a back pack since I have my kid. I need those coins for the kiddie ride around the malls you know. So no matter how heavy they might add to my bag, I'll still bring them around. But I dont put them in my pocket though. Too heavy and bulging! Just a small pouch in my bag.
