i keep all my change in one of those massive grolsch bottles (small coints ie 5p's etc) and then have another piggy bank type thing i had when i was young for bigger coins.
counted it and iv got 54.83 
think im off to sainsburys to get it changed into money i can spend in a shop without pissing people off  only downside is they take 7% admittedly that goes to a charity.
fun sunday morning so far

Fuck the charity, go into a mega busy shop at peak time, and buy something worth £54.84, make them count it then when they find your a penny short say you don't have it, take your money back and walk off

I've got one like that, but it you're only meant to put £1's and £2's in it, and it holds £500. It's 2 thirds full

Get the first penny, and say, 'ooh, interesting story behind this one, I found this one when I was about 5, no wait, maybe I was 6, anyway..............'

I have to do this with my coinbox soon.
Love piling it into Tesco coin counters as it sounds like a rock compactor falling down a flight of stairs

I just counted mine out too, ive got some money box thing which i keep 5,10 and 20p's in, all added up to £43.80 
I have got a huge budweiser bottle full of coppers which weighs a tonne, but probably only has a few quid in it, just cant be bothered counting it all!
