WOW! DH comes home this weekend. We will start one really soon.

That's awesome.

Holy cow!!! That is great! How long have you had them?

That's a lot! We always have a coin jar at our house. I remember at my mom's house we had like 4. I took one in to donate money for our 6th grade outdoor lab and it was $15......in pennies

I use a coffee can myself.

We are thinking we've been putting money in them about 3 years...

That's awesome!

Coins really add up. We make a game out of it here at work when people bring in coin to deposit/cash in. Dominic has his own little jar and it holds approx $70 when full!

We paid for our entire pre-deployment vacation with the money out of our coin jar that we had only been collecting for about 13 months! It was basically 10 days of doing everything we wanted for nothing!

We have one but now it's mostly pennies. We tend to take out the quarters when we need to do laundry. The last time I counted we had around $40 but that was before we took out all the quarters.
