What do you keep all your coppers in?

My mum used to have a HUGEE whisky bottle (think it was whisky anyways) and used to put 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p coins in it..

I dont actually have anything to collect small change in, but my daughter does have a rather large Duck.. that is her savings fund for this years trip to Butlins..

We dont put coppers in there just silver or gold money that she earns.

I have one of those tins that you open with a tin opener so I don't dip into it!!

Put all my nights out change in one every year and usually have £2-£300 when I cut them open in November to help with the Chrimbo prezzies

I always come home with loads of change from nights out

For the last few years I've used the same Pringle tube for coppers n five pence pieces,Pretty skint just now so it gets emptied fairly regularly to get milk,bread n whatever else I might need at the time.

All other smash is kept in my wee ornamental skull.It doesn't get saved though,that's just where I bung it when I get in n empty my pockets!

My gran once gave me a Haigh's Dimple Whisky jar full of tanners (old sixpences) for my 7 th birthday.

I used to save shrapnel, but now I take it to the 24/7 across the road when I have a couple of quids worth. It gives the guy on night shift something to count

A terracotta pot my dad used to use. It's from Spain. Traditionally it has no opening at the bottom (though this one has) and when full you're supposed to smash it to get the money. Then get a new one and start again.
