Wow, some of you folks are on a whole different level from me. LOL

I never considered searching in the car. Apparently it is a common affliction! ROFL

You can, of course, also try to trade your surplus pennies for some proper cents... :)

I love this topic! As a fairly new coin collector/cent searcher, I feel crazy when I look through them in the car.
I agree that three containers is the best method for on-the-go. Then, separate them further when you have the time at home.

That is the beauty of coin collecting. You can collect and sort your coins numerous ways and if you are pleased with what you are doing that is just fine. You can make adjustments as needed and do what is best for you and your pocket book. There is no right or wrong way to collect the only thing that all true coin collectors have is a love of coins.

I have a couple dozen of those Zip-Lock tubs with the screw on lids. When I am roll searching I use a couple to separate the keepers from the chum.

I also use them for segregating the keepers. I put wheats in one, copper LMC's in another, and other keepers in a third. Until I get around to rolling the keepers these work great.

I also use them for other things like hardware and electronic parts. I found a Dollar store with sets of 6 for a buck. They are sturdy and, when the lid is on, keep things from falling out when dropped.

I use clear plastic tackle box containers. Their thin, snap tight and comes with little flat slide ins for making slots bigger or smaller to preference. 8X10 in size.
