Re: Coin Jar
I have a money jar too, empty it every few months and usually get about $150
I put mine into money bags, take them to my bank and they exchange them for notes for free. If you go to a bank that you don't have an account with they may charge you 10%.

Re: Coin Jar
This will make you all chuckle .... small town country living, example 1) .... I take my coin tin (you know those ones you need to use a can opener for) into my local ANZ, I do open it first and I then leave it there.
Come back an hour later, it's counted and deposited into my account!
And yes, I trust them!

Re: Coin Jar
My wife doesn't have a problem with being referred to as 'Wifey' here on BE or anywhere else. Is it a bad term?
For us it's Hubby & Wifey. Nothing wrong with those terms.

Re: Coin Jar
I just don't like it. He who would like to be obeyed occasionally refers to me as The Wife, err, I have a name darling 
Never been called a violent feminist though, not even sure what one is but presumably it's an expression used by someone who has some psychological issues with women.

Re: Coin Jar
We put loose change into one of those big old whisky bottles that used to be in pubs (MIL worked in a raffa club) and when it is about half full sort the coins into bags and put them in the bank. I didn't know the bank would do all the hard work for you- mind you this is Sydney, so it might be different here.
