Where Do You Keep Your Random Change?

don't forget pics would be great for really neat piggy banks.

I throw mine all over. I some on my desk, some on the kitchen table, kitchen counter, in the sofa, on my floor, random spots in the car. I try to keep it in a jar so I can sort it but I never do and it ends up all over

I might be considered a strange person.
I hate having change. Any amount. Any change I do get gets used ASAP.
Living in Canada it it easy to accumulate an overwhelming amount of change.
If I have over $4.95 in change something is wrong. Use it up.

On a visit to the 'States some years ago, I noticed that many families stored bulk loose change in cookie jars or similar.
I think that is mainly due to the 'exact to the penny', change given at checkouts as a result of State Taxes (which vary from State to State), being levied at the point of sale. I guess that the accumulation of loose change must be a source of at least minor annoyance for most Americans.

Lots of other countries INCLUDE state taxes in the final price, and so the final price gets rounded up or down,thus eliminating the need for 'exact to the penny' change.

It seems to me that Americans just take all this loose change home and store it because is is annoying. When you feel you have enough it is just taken to the bank in bulk for redemption and re circulation.
This helps to explain why the penny has not been demonetized.

I do things a little different from my fellow Australians but I nevertheless DO find the accumulation of loose change annoying. Most Australians just recirculate ALL of their loose change on a regular basis.
I happen to be a coin collector.
I collect ALL circulating commemorative coinage ($2,$1,50,&20c). Australia has no commemorative 5c or 10c, and the 2c&1c were demonetized long ago.

I have about 2 litres (perhaps $400) of purely commemorative coins. When this jar is full, I will do a population count on them, and publish the results here in the CCF. I will keep a best example of each; the discarded ones will pay for fuel for my cars.
At least I will be able to kid myself that I can run my cars for free!

I collect all non commemorative $2, $1 and 50c, and I pay for the fuel for my cars with these; the $2 coins pay for fuel for my 6.9 litre Mercedes, and $1 and 50c coins for fuel for my Hyundau Getz.

I DO find 10c and 5c coins somewhat annoying myself. Like most Americans, these get hoarded to be redeemed later for recirculation.

I store all my change in a 1 foot tall glass jar that I bought 14 years ago. I go through all my change when I get it (silver, wheats, pre 1960 nickels) whatever I don't keep I throw in the jar. When the jars full I cash it in and use it to buy new coins.

I remove all coins from pockets on a daily basis because I pay for all purchases with notes.

Everyone gets checked and then dumped in a bag. One bag for 25 and 50 satangs, one for 1 baht and one for 2 bahts. The 5 and 10 baht coins get used in the business we have.

When we, occasionaly, visit the family up north we take all the bags with us. They are great for giving out to kids by the handful. It's a relatively poor rural area so it's great to see the urchins clutching their haul and making straight for the local store to spend.

It's usually about $50 worth but to count and bag them (they don't do rolls here) for the bank is a pain and I would probably have to wait a day while the bank staff checked them (I've never even seen them use scales).

Random change?

Not in this house

Unlike thai-vic, I pull off my pants to the jingle of loose change hitting
the floor. Most often, it just stays on the floor. When the urge to pick it up strikes, they are put into a bank with the Tootsie Roll logo on it. Then, when the can gets heavy I search through it, keep a few dollars worth in change purses and take the rest to the bank.
Often, there are enough quarters to pay for a small pizza.

Looks like this one:
