maybe slightly tenuous
in my first year of uni was sat in the kitchen watching telly when one of my housemates appears with an big load of 5p coins all wrapped up in an old t shirt

turned out that he hated 5ps, never spent them and couldn't think of a way to get rid of them

i offered him £10 for the lot went and got some bags from the bank and bagged them up (something he couldnt be bothered to do)

net profit? £15 or 2 weeks worth of food for a skint student

Coin stashes
I never understand people who throw away money. I have Gallon Whisky bottle for the copper. Once full it is £70 or so. The five pence coins go into a Tequila bottle. Can't remember what the value is when full.

Yeah - it is annoying to carry in a pocket. But it soon adds up to bonus money.

Sorting into bags is quick. Especially when using scales. OR a trick pointed out elsewhere... use the Self Service tills at the supermarket. Just pour the cash in and let it count them.
