Presently, I'm knocking them down flat and saving them, though I haven't yet figured out the ultimate goal of this. At the rate I'm accumulating half-dollar skunk boxes, I should be able to build a 1/10 scale model of the Himalaya Mountain chain out of them alone before too much longer....

I roll search cents so I have cent boxes. I saved up a bunch once and sold them to my coin shop guy for 25 cents each. I also use them to store some of my "finds". John1  |

Same as pennycollector93; save them to put my rolled copper in. They can be used for a number of purposes; one I have full of crayons for my son!

I took a load into the recycling place along with my bottles and cans a few weeks ago and got 3 cents a pound for the cardboard I ended up with $1.53 for the cardboard not much but I threw it into my coin buying fund

Recycle bin here.
My copper fits nicely in a big ol' glass jar. Not sure rolling saves significant space and the glass jar fulla capppa looks purty.
@Fat Freddy... hahaha -- please post a picture of your model when complete. :)

I use them to store copper, ship things, and make a stand for my Ryedale! Oh, and sorting bins for my Ryedale as well

I use them to store my rolls that I have put aside for re-evaluation.

I don't care to leave roll hunting evidence lying around, so I use the boxes for woodstove kindling on these cold Mich winters.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I put all the empty wrappers in them, except one empty wrapper I use to hold the coins I'm keeping. I write the number of the box on them and then later I know what number box to post here on the forums.
I tape the boxes together for easy portability, and dump them in the dumpster at work. We don't have recycling at work, and I don't want them in my garbage or recycling at home. Why attract attention?
