I do the same thing, it is a great idea. But you already made that money and it is not income in the traditional sense. What you find on the street or in vending machines is income. But the $0.83 cents you get after purchasing a candy bar isn't income. The change jar money that you get after going to the bank or whatever shouldn’t really be considered income.

That way when I come in, I just empty my pockets and sort it into the appropriate jar. Then about once a month or every 6 weeks, I'll take them to the grocery store and dump them into the coinstart machine to sort. I usually get $80-$100 even after the 9% robbery from the machines. From there, I do my grocery shopping and spoil myself with the items that I don't normally buy. Just the other day, I had well over $119 just in pennies since I found two other jars that I forgot that I had. I was using them as bookends for years and didn't think of them as money. I just put pennies into old wine bottles to make classy looking bookends.

If I were to go to the bank, I’d have to find somewhere to park (not easy in my town), pay for parking, walk to the bank, wait in line and wait again while they count the coins.

With the coinstar, I can be in and out within 5 minutes with free parking. For my particular circumstances, I’m willing to pay a small fee for the convenience.

You should go to the bank and they'll give you your money at no cost, trust me it works. I agree with everything, but the coinstar.

I've been doing this for around six months now and used the proceeds on crates of beer :)<br/><br/>I feel that the earnings are too small to divide between saving and spending, however I must also add that if I didn't buy booze with my 'money box' cash, it would have come out of my current/checking account anyway, so it's the equivalent of saving around £15 per month.<br/><br/>I really like the website.

I like the thought of having found money I have found $2.30 since Jan 1st and it may not be much but at least I am not like other commenters or others out there who expect to get rich any idiot would know you can't get rich fast by doing this so stop complaining to Nev.
