Did you know that American’s have on average $90 in loose change.
SO how many of you have a change jar, mug or bowl? I know some of you have spare change in multiple places..
Do you have any change in the laundry room from when you are emptying pockets, or that you found in the washer or dryer. Remember, finders keepers!
How about in a closet then you empty you pockets? Or in the bottom of your handbags, are you guilty or just taking out the “stuff you need” and leaving the rest?
Look in your old wallets and don’t forget to check all your coats too.
Do you have spare change in a drawer maybe from the change you get from when you have pizza delivered? What about your desk drawer? How about those greeting cards did you forget that you have $5 dollars from your Aunt Dolly? What about your kids toy boxes? (I am not suggesting you raid you kid’s piggy banks.)
Are you hoarding rolls of coins in a box in a closet or under your bed?
Could there be spare change in your car, under the seats, in the ashtray, deep in the center console or the cup holders that have a few grimy coins that are covered in soda syrup? Sometimes there is a stash of spare change in the garage from when you cleaned out the car.
Oh just in case you thought I might forget ~ check those cushions in your furniture.
So if you take this opportunity to gather all those coins you might find that you have some unexpected fun money. Possibly you have lots of spare change just gathering dust. Wouldn’t it be fun to find out how much you can find?
Most banks will take your change and count it for you. They will then just add it to your account for no fee. Many other places there are coin machines that will cash in your coins on the spot.
See organizing can be fun and profitable. Well maybe ~ it’s almost like free money. Not really more like forgotten money, but what are you waiting for. Round up those coins! I can’t wait to hear about your discover. What will you do with your spare change? Tell me where you found your spare change.

Sadly, my kids find the money pretty good. I would be stuck with the fruit snack wrappers being left behind! 😂

I toss the change in a jar when I clean out my pockets, purse, etc. My husband and I use it for fun things on vacation or shopping trips. Feels like a freebie that way!

After I lived in Japan, I got really good about using my spare change, because the smallest bill was worth about $10, and I had to use change. Now, it all gets used. After all, it’s actual money – no need to just put it in a jar.

I tell everyone to save their spare change. We keep ours in a large plastic coke bottle. We usually save for vacations
