We rarely carry cash, but when we do I usually toss any small change into
the dish. What I like even better is having those electronic change
counters in the stores where you dump in change and it gives you a voucher
that you can use at the register for purchase or redemption. We used to
accumulate large amounts of change and I refused to roll it, so I'm
willing to pay the percentage they charge for using the machine.
