I generally only remove the coins when I change my pants. I change them every day when I’m in the office, but it can be up to every 5 days when in the field. Sometimes I will have to empty my pockets because I have a whole wad of coins and it will dig into my legs when I’m hiking.
I will not carry change one second longer than necessary. All my purchases today were by debit card anyway.
The only change on me is a change of underwear.
Actually . . . as soon as I get home, I piggy-bank my change. Nickels, dimes and quarters get rolled and deposited; pennies get dated and hoarded (I’ve got almost $200 in pennies).
93 cents, three quarters, a dime, a nickel and three pennies.
Did anyone else feel silly standing up and emptying their pockets? All in the name of science.
I think every member of this board needs to answer the poll for it to have any value.
- I’m sitting at the computer in pocketless gym shorts.
I despise change and never carry it. I leave it in the tip jar, set it down on a nearby table, toss it into a change cup (at home) or even throw it out if it’s just a couple of pennies. Far more trouble than it’s worth. I’d be thrilled if every purchase were just rounded up to the nearest dollar so I’d never get coins back. I rarely pay with cash anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal, but I really can’t stand having change in my pockets.
The only time I deal with change is for car washes and parking meters, but most of the meters around here take credit cards now, and so does my regular car wash, so even that is becoming a thing of the past.
My apologies, but I find it amusing that you constantly carry four pennies with you to avoid the possibility of getting up to four pennies in change back.
$0. I don’t usually use cash.
$.65. My old gym sold protein shakes for $4.00 flat, but this new one charges 5.35. WTF, guys? So since I go 1st thing in the morning before work, I now have .65 floating around my pocket all day, which I hate.
Zero. Unless you catch me at the right time, it will always be zero. The moment I get in the car, I empty change into my ashtray. Every few days the ashtray is emptied into a big polar water jug.
$.75 for the parking meter near my happy hour bar after work.
Of course, you recognize that the simple solution to carrying $0.65 around all day is to carry $0.35 with you to the gym. 
None. I never have cash with me.

Change goes in my car’s cup holder, not in my pocket.
A dollar and 39 cents. 4 quarters, 3 dimes, a nickel and 4 pennies. I normally toss my change in a basket every couple of days. That can add up to 60-70 bucks by the time I roll it all up and take it to the bank.
My purse was overdue for a clean out. I had more than $5 in change.
I am in the process of getting rid of all my change at the laundromat. I liberated quarters and loonies. Several bills have been changed into quarters and loonies as well. The lady even changed my pennies, dimes, and nickels! I am left with eight pennies, two subway tokens for a city 250 km away, a toonie, and my keys. My change pouch hasn’t been this empty for months.
I have $2.45 in the side pocket of my messenger bag. All change gets thrown in there until I remember to dump it into my cup holder for meters.
Lessee:
2 dollar coins
4 quarters
2 dimes
3 nickels
1 penny
A few years ago I started using one of those squeezable leather coin pouches so the change wouldn’t be spread around many pockets and jangling against my keys.
