They are a pain but you should just toss alll your spare change in a big jar and give it to me.

Funny story: I was at a grocery store late one night at the Coinstar machine. I had an old cat litter bucket with a ton of change in it. I was pouring it into the maching. It sounded like a Vegas casino. A friend of mine walked in and looked at me like I was crazy. He made fun of me for schleping a cat litter bucket of change around. I looked like a kid who had broken open his piggy bank. He stopped laughing when I told him that it was a $120 worth of change, not including quarters. That was another $80. Save your change. It adds up.

On another note, if you hate change, you'd hate Canada. They use $1 and $2 coins. They're big and heavy and fill up your pockets damn quickly. The only good thing was that I'd save the $1 coins (there weren't $2 coins yet) from tips and at the end of the month I'd have a few hundred bucks.
