We have done this for years and it is fantastic! We have a big money jar that we put coins into and it pays for our annual family holiday! We empty it every couple of months and bank it into a high interest earning account. Last year we managed to save $3k in the jar and went on a family holiday to Perth for two weeks!
We are also like lilfatty and have savings plans set up for Lauren to pay for a car and either uni, an OE or a house deposit.
Its surprising how much all your spare change adds up too when you pop it away for a rainy day!

We don't do this for Christmas but we do put all our spare change in a big money box - it's a big iron pig we bought in Chinatown  It actually needs emptying again soon, last time we banked it there was nearly $400 in there and that's only 5c - $1 coins!
I love feeding all the coins into the change machine at the bank. So much fun

I didn't do this as I just found the thread but it's a great idea...going to go out and get one ready for 2011. My sister keeps one and opened it last month and had around $200 in it and that kind of money this time of the year would be a big help!!
Just out of curiosity has anyone opened their 2010 tins yet?

I just saw this as well, what a brilliant idea! I have a spare change for treats jar but a spare change for saving tin is better

We opened ours in Sept for our Oz trip & had about $220 in it, we've got another one going now which feels heavy but probably only has about $50. I'm going to open it NYE and then start another one the next day.

I've only just seen this - brilliant idea!! I'm going to use decorated formula tins and try to be good about not opening them. I might set up one per child plus a Christmas one and see how we go.

Yep we opened ours last week. We got $762 this year. Not the $1000 that I was aiming for but still pretty good. I'd say we've been putting in about $15 - $20 a week. Hope I can better it next year.
