Do you throw money away?

Spring, 29 June, 2008 at 21:21 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 19

I'm a firm believer of if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves so i was quite shocked when i was at someones house and they were tidying up and they came across some small change and chucked it away with the rest of the rubbish.

I'd be too scared to do that in case i jinx myself and end up really skint one day because i was so ungrateful.

    I wouldn't quite literally throw money away, but I often piss it up the wall.

    No, I never throw money away! I have a coin jar (old large water bottle actually) that I put all change found like that.

    I was cleaning out the door pocket of my car the other day and something had obviously leaked and covered a few loose coins in a thick sticky brown mess. I confess I threw those coins out (only about 5p in total) rather than clean the gunk off them. If I have coppers I don't want, I put them in the nearest charity box.

    I'm not the best with money but I wouldn't throw any away. I've washed coppers before and then dried them and put them away in my coppers tin.

    Any loose change I find goes into my daughters money box, I'd never literally throw it away. I do piss it up the wall sometimes though!

    No never! We have a couple of penny jars sometimes chuck pounds and fifties in there too. We use the money to buy the kids holiday clothes, over a year it usually amounts to a couple of hundred quid.

    Won't be so much this year as we have dipped into it for school trips etc. i'm always surprise how much loose change adds up to.

    I thought it would be easy to find pictures of BB in drag but all I can find are ones of him in women's underwear. A fine figure of a man. ?

    I'm certainly good at wasting it on frivolous stuff, but wouldn't actually throw it out.

    Oooh, blimey, no!

    We have a heyooooge old whisky bottle, about 3 feet high that we chuck all our small change in. It takes about 3-4 years to fill it (with 1, 2 and 5p coins), then we count it all up, change it into "real" money and take to to a festival and spend it all on cider or similar.

    It's ace.

    We have one of those too, but it's never been emptied yet as these days I tend to put all my small change onto my vending machine key at work. I had to point out to my husband the other day that we're going have to empty it, as the money isn't going to be much use to us when we move to the US ? We'll have to start again in January.

    I've always been rubbish with coppers, usually just abandoning them around the house but recently my little boy started collecting everyones coppers and now we make regular trips to coinstar machine at Asda. He made £30 last time we went! Born to be an entrepeneur!

    Nope, I have a cauldron with them in and every couple of years it goes in the coinstar machine. You can usually get £20-£30 off a full jar so well worth it. Throwing them away is hideously wasteful IMO.

    I've never knowingly thrown money away, i have a tub at home which all loose change gets put into. I need to count it out soon and stick it in the bank.

    I have a change jar at home too that i chuck everything into but i have been known to throw coppers away. Not so much just right into the bin if i'm at home (and the coni jar is nearby) but if i'm out and i drop changes (less than 20p) i wouldn't bother to pick it up. And coppers that jangle about my purse and chucked in a charity box or my niece's piggy bank.

    I hate coppers and think they should be got rid of!
