        Spend it as I go. I normally have anywhere from 25-75 pennies is my wallet, but if it's getting to be too much I'll use them when buying something like coffee or chips. I try not to be the asshole that pays with 20+ pennies and has to count them out at the register, I normally have them counted ahead of time and try not to use more than 10 for one purchase. Still somewhat of a dick move, but whatever.

        Same thing applies for nickels and dimes.

          I used to work at a convenience store and never really found this a problem. As long as you aren't paying w/ more than 30 pennies they aren't too hard to count by twos. And if they are counted out and the clerk trusts you (you are a regular) even better.

                I have a small bucket that I throw them in. I usually use the quarters for laundry and cash in the rest every few months for 50-60 bucks.

                        I can't speak for all Canadians but the ones I know (including myself) no longer consider the US a travel destination.

                        We used to vacation in Florida, Arizona, Nevada etc, but the US is too much hassle with border security etc, plus since visiting countries like Cuba, Colombia, Brazil etc, I have zero interest in visiting the USA.

                        For a really good time try visiting a South American country, food,culture atmosphere are much preferred to the dreary, expensive and sometimes dangerous USA.

                        The only time I see Buffalo nowadays is when I fly over it on my way to a fun vacation away from America.

                                I stuff it in my couch--- Most people find change there, I put it there.

                                the complete opposite.
