Change Jar

[Haskell_Hunter]

Many years ago I finished a 1-gallon jug of Motts apple juice.  It was a well built plastic jug, pretty sturdy.  So I rinsed it out and decided to throw my silver change into it.  I've emptied it at least three times over the years and it's been like hitting the lottery.  Paid for my AR-556 with change.  Best cash-in was $589.08.

 

Anyone else have a change jar?

I have 1 at my house in hammonton and 2 in this house I'm at now.but I don't get the money the kids do I'm always putting change in it but never get to use it I think the most j had was like 110 bucks and the kids bought toys

Yes, it has helped with vacation a time or two.

It does add up. I've used a variety of containers. Always surprising when I take change to the bank and it adds up to hundreds of dollars.

I have a change cup in my desk at school which comes in handy when I forget my lunch money.

It does add up.  Takes time, but it's worth the wait.  I figure I socked away about $1 a day for two years.  Not a ton of cash per day that I'd miss, but it was nice to get a check for nearly $600 for just a pile of change.

I have a 5 gallon glass bottle that I keep money in. I donated thousands of pennies to my local Boys and Girls club and few years ago.

I have a big glass bottle also. Most change I ever cashed in was about 550$. I now put dollars in with my change. I wanna use my next cash out towards some kind of hunting trip.

i keep a change jar as well. once a year i cash it in and then go buy .999 pure silver bars. this year was my first time buying a gram of .999 pure gold along with other silver. it really does add up, i i roughly have about $1000 in precious metals.
