This works much better in Europe or Canada than in the US... US pocket change is effectively worthless, since the largest denomination coin in wide circulation is the quarter. Unless you are carrying around (physical) pounds of change, using it for anything beyond laundry, vending machines, or parking meters is impractical.
1 & 2 euro coins, on the other hand, are pretty convenient for small purchases.
- ghaff 10y agoThough that's also somewhat of a feature with respect to US change. I can just dump it in a bucket at home to get turned into "real money" with a coin counting machine someday. Quarters are also sometimes still useful for parking.
