I stopped by the bank to cash in my accumulated coins again. The total was $18.19. The last time I cashed in my coins was early October, so let's say 10 weeks. That's an average of about two bucks per week of accumulated coins.
A couple of years ago, when cash was really really tight, we would literally paw through the coins to pay for gas and grocery items at the end of the month. We never had extra coins just sitting around.
Obviously, we still have a considerable debt load. But, from a family cash flow stand point, things have begun to turn around, and I think that the coin accumulation situation is a signal of that.

We no longer save our coins because we bank online, but we got to the point of accumulating about $30 a month. And in our early years, we would add that money to debt payoff.
