change jar

Loose coin holder

A change jar is a container, typically a jar or similar vessel, where someone accumulates loose coins over time.

The practice treats small denominations as too inconvenient for daily use but worth saving: I toss my pocket change into a change jar at the end of each day.

When full, the contents might be rolled, taken to a coin-counting machine, or used for a specific purpose like vacation savings.
