penny jar
Small change holder
A penny jar is a container, typically glass, where people accumulate loose change—especially pennies.
It represents casual, long-term saving: The penny jar on the dresser was finally full enough to cash in.
The term evokes modest, old-fashioned thrift rather than serious financial planning.
