Is it just me, or does anyone else end up with mountains of loose change?

I don't carry a wallet, and I throw all my change into a bowl.

I'm quite good now, as it's only a cereal bowl. At one time it was an old fashioned wash basin, filled to the brim with copper, and the odd bit of silver.

Every so often I sit down, count it, bag it up, and bank it.

I do struggle in shops now because I have Parkinson's Disease, and my fingers are now rubbish at finding the right change to give in shops, but I do normally make an effort, no matter how many people are queued up behind me.

I can't really blame my present physical conditon, as I've always managed to accrue quite literally sometimes, tons of change.

I know people who never have more than a pound or so of change to their name, so am I doing something wrong, or does anyone else end up with more coppers than the Policeman's Ball?
