I've got £45 in notes and probably a few pounds in silver in my handbag - I don't have a purse now, just a small handbag with pockets. We have a box for coppers, which we count into moneybags once it's full - probably about £3 in there. has about £10 in change in his pockets. Don't know how much the kids have though.
A colleague (aged 25) throws away coins worth anything less than 20p. Literally, throws them in the bin! Says they aren't worth saving as he can't spend less than 20p.
Yes, really really throws it away in the bin. I've told him to get a tin and save it for charity, or even just to show him how much he's throwing away. He just doesn't want to know.
I have 35 euros sitting on top of the microwave, a £5 (my friend found at the train station) ready to go to charity in late sponsorship for an event I undertook, and 8p in change looking for a home (jar we keep coppers in has gone amiss).
Cannot believe anyone would throw money away when it is easy to put in a charity box or keep till it adds up to a small amount to bank.

plenty of change laying around, though absolutely worthless

We used to throw all our coins, 20p and smaller, in a 5 litre whisky bottle, and then empty it occasionally.
Last time we emptied is, there was over £160 in it.
It just took forever to count :shock:
We really must start again, sometime!
I put all my change under 20p in a jar, then cash it in now and again.
I thought everyone did this: I must be tight!!!!
Right now, all I have in the world which has to get me to the end of the week is and 4 Cents :smug:
I used to save all my 5p's in an unusually shaped wine bottle ( they wer the only coins that fitted in). It took ten years to fill and when emptied had £300 in. My bank would only accept five bags at a time so it took weeks to pay it all in!
I never have more than a tenner in my pocket, unless going to the pub for a session. If I want to buy anything more expensive I use my Debit card.
Having just checked I've also got 10 euros in my wallet.
Empty pockets every evening and put coppers in one jar (holds about £9) and 5ps in another (not filled it yet). If a shop has a charity box by the till I'll usually put coppers in there.
Keep a few notes in a drawer by the door ... in case I spend all I've got and still take a taxi home!
79p :smug:

Ermmmmm nothing!! Not one penny here!! Cept the few odd bits in my purse. I dont tend to keep a lot of cash on me nowadays. Had my purse stolen a few times and lost out bigtime!
My son throws all his change in a dish and collects it all up till I have a moan about it!! Then he takes it to one of those machines that changes it up then blows it on booze and girls!
I have a pocket full of change and no notes... but I do have a few dollars, corna, copeck ( no roubles) etc lying around. Then there is a small collection of old coins, I do not think the bank would except them.
It is a lot!
Does old money count? I've got loads of sixpences, thruppenny bits, shillings etc. somewhere.
When you take the wedding vow it means they just help themselves to anything shiney that they find around the place.
