Anything less than 50p goes in a jar - which usually ends up being donated to a local charity
50p, £1 & £2 coins go in a little money pouch and are only really used for paying for parking or getting a supermarket trolley |

I usually have a few coins for trolleys if I'm doing a big shop. Most of my spare change goes to charity. Local shops, volunteers, collections etc. On the odd occasion, someone homeless. I don't normally carry cash. |

"What do you do with your spare change?"
a massive glass wine bottle, all goes in there. then eventually i take it to the bank where they have a coin sorting machine that you just pour all the coins into it. it will then count it and give you a voucher. i then spend the cash on something |

"The government is doing away with the one cent coin, so I have a lot, in my pickup it's all pennies "
I am not sure that is true, is it. They are not bringing new ones in circulation but apparently still over 27 billion coins out there. I pay lots in cash wherever possible and have even withdrawn my custom in places that do not accept cash. The choice to use cash or not is important and I certainly will not want to see that go. Some elderly people don't even have a bank account. It is not just about us who can happily just use our phones and the rest |

true mb, shops will still take pennies,some are rounding the price up or down to get the next denomination, I'm in the process of looking for old coins silver even steel coins from WW2 |

I use card and cash. Cash for smaller purchases, markets, small shops. Card for supermarket or bigger purchases for the protection you get with your bank. I don't have spare change because I spend it. |
