Have been just the same in the past Garinda; now I am trying to put a few of the coppers from my box in my purse when I go out small shopping to run it down, and don't care whether people are puffing and panting behind me whilst I 'copper up'.
Amazing that we can afford to throw this money into a container isn't it ? Can't be too badly off after all. There again, probably me, I am not very good at saving, and seems ideal for some people ...
Still have a box of foreign currency, particularly Euro money ... not all airlines seem to collect spare change for charity now. Will just have to remember to take it with me in September.
