    Question How much change do you have in your wallet?

    Right now in change I have:

    - 1 loonie ($1)
    - 4 quarters
    - 2 dimes

    Whats the amount of change in yours?

    None!! Everyday when I get home I put the change from the day into my "piggybank". I am saving up for....something for me!! Either a digital camera or a piece of exercise equipment for when I get my own place! I just started doing this and with the loonies and toonies (sp?) (as you know, my fellow Canuck) the change adds up quick!

    Who knows? When my purse gets too heavy, I know it is time to empty it out. I usually put anywhere from $3-$6 in my change tin when I do this.

    I only keep about a $1.00 in change in my purse after cleaning it out.

    Very little....maybe a $1 or two, a $2 bill that Dave won't let me spend but that I keep forgetting to take out, and just a bit of spare change

    Same as SewCrafty. When my purse gets too heavy I dump everything out and put all change in my savings jar and then put about $1 of change in my little coin purse.

    I have one pressed penny from a special friend. I always take my change and place it into the change jar.

    I have less than 1.00 now but normally have 2-3.00 which makes my wallet very heavy.

    Right now quite a bit, hubby loaded me up yesterday when I went to the shop, he gets all the change he finds in the cars he details and gives it to me me when I go over there and I bring it home and put he majority of it in the change jar. I keep out enough quarters for the paper through the week.
