♦For instance, empty your pockets in the same single place
daily. And when your pocket change starts to overflow that particular spot, take
the bulk of it and put it in a single canister or home bank. Repeat the process
as needed. Here are some choices to drop your coins at
home:
♦Sorter - Got a lot of change you'd like to sort and store?
Use the
Ultra Money Sorter
 from Organize-Everything.
Put your change right into paper coin wrappers (that you buy separately or get from
your bank).
♦Tray --Get fancy or simple, big or small with trays.
This
Desk Valet - Desktop Organizer Tray
 from Organize-Everything can easily hold your loose coins when you empty
your pockets. Put coins in any or all of the compartments. At the end of the
week put whatever coins remain into your home bank. If you don't like this tray,
get a simpler one compartment tray from the souvenir section of any store.
You'll often find coin trays in souvenir shops with the state or city design on
them.
♦Valet - A step up in fanciness from your ordinary organizer tray is a
valet. The
Dresser Valet
 to the left from Organize-Everything has deeper and lined
compartments for your coins but also your watches and rings (the lining is to keep
these other items, not the coins, scratch-free).
♦Banks - Of course, your home bank is the ultimate necessity.
Coins in valets and trays have to be emptied somewhere. If you're not emptying them
straight into the sorter pictured earlier, put them in a home bank until you're
ready to sort through and cash in your coins. Make sure you buy a bank that
holds a lot of coins. A tiny cute kid-size piggy bank isn't large enough. Look
in the novelty section of stores, or in novelty stores, for banks shaped like
bowling pins and soda bottles. These hold a LOT of coins. Let's put it this
way...if you can easily lift the bank with one hand when it's full, it's too
small. Get a bigger bank and don't cash it in until you're ready to do something
special with that "pocket change."
