Change Jar

[Randomface74]

I'm getting quite a lot of change building up and I realise most people have a change jar - so I'm going to get one.... but which one?

Recommendations plz

Recommend a jar?

Get a bloody grip, walk into the shops and pick something up or use an existing one from the house.

Got any good suggestions for a toilet brush, by any chance?

I got an old plastic sweets container from the corner shop, the ones they serve you 1/4s of sweets from. I just toss my coppers 5p and 10p shrapnel in there every morning. Soon mounts up, it pays for my motor racing weekend every year.

I have looked at the jars that count it up for you, but haven't bothered as yet. Ill see what crops up in this thread :>

It's important to consider three things when choosing your change jar :

1. Practicality - how easily can you depost and remove money from said jar? Time is money in these crazy days of financial uncertainty and being able to have access to your liquid funds is paramount.

2. Desirability - change jars should be placed on a velvet-cushioned pad which itself is on a raised plinth. Most people place this in the centre of their living or dining rooms to act as a conversational piece when entertaining. Your change jar should be desirable and evoke strong feelings of envy in those who see it.

3. Longevity - fashions change and you can't be caught out using a change jar which is oh so last month. Equally important is build durability - your change jar must be of sufficiently high quality build to function for as long as you need it. Finding the balance between these two competing needs is hard and expert advice should be sought if you are unsure.

I hope this guide was of use. God speed.

I have a big porcelain tankard from a brewery tour ages ago.
One of the counting ones would be quite handy though.

I have one of the old large Heroes tins (2.75kg I think). Currently sitting at a little over £75 and it's not even half full.

You could have a nice plot triangle with that actually, I might knock one up. I'll get a list of candidate products and see if we can't get this heinous problem afflicting humanity sorted out once and for all..

Jar, huh? That must be a hard choice.

I find them pretty crap as you cant just spam your change in really fast or some coins end up not being counted and it seems more fun just to wait and find out how much change you actually have

I have a large Kilner jar I found by the communal dustbin - yours for the cost of postage.

A vodka bottle.... large.

 

[Skillmister]

I use the entirety of my desks surface area as a change storage device.

 

[Ma'am]

We use a 2.5 litre Justerini & Brooks whisky bottle. It's had the top cut off and a slot cut in the side

 

[HarryPainful]

I have a 5 litre demijohn (is that right?!)

I can get everything under a £2 coin in it, they will go in but not come out.

Usually empty it when its 2/3 full, last time was almost £600 but I do put quite a few £1 coins in it.
