How many of us keep a change jar? I do, and mine usually makes around 30-40$ a month. Between now and next December if even 10 of us took our change jars and cashed them in and donated the money to Tighar, That would be a chunk of change. Maybe $4000 if only 10 of us did it, Think how much more if more people got involved. Something to think about.

I see the point you're making. And it’s a good thought. But, wow - you're collected change is 30 - 40 a month! For me, that would be pretty heavy into cash-use. I'm a plastic user myself - I don't even write a check to pay the plastic. (In fact, I'm secretly a little annoyed when people in front of me in a store take so much time to write out a check.) Of coarse I carry a little cash for emergencies and to pay for something small. Thinking about my life before plastic - that goes back a ways. My first experience with a credit card was those limited-use gasoline cards that had the embossed information that created carbon copies that you had to sign. That time would be around 1960. Anyway, I had a plastic change container that I squeezed to open it. The procedure was to try to take out to pay what was put in the last time. I know, you’ll say that’s sort of the same as taking time to write a check - better to just get out another bill ( or note, depending where you live).

Oh I use plastic, but keep a 20 around, my husband takes a few dollars to work with him, so there is always change. We give the kids money to go here and there and ask for change back....it adds up.
