Mine certainly isn't a jar. And, I've got a few things in my collection that aren't coins either.
I had a plastic drawer thing which I dropped coins in prior to the move in Oct. As I went to pack it, crack......it broke. Coins everywhere. Thus, the zip lock.
After moving to the new house, I thought I'd upgrade to a china dish, matched the room, had lovely violets painted on it.... (actually, the dish "happened", because I made a stupid bid for a cream & sugar on a tray for the antique booth. When I got them, it wasn't a set, wasn't even a sugar & creamer. So, I couldn't sell the dish, I had paid money for it, so thought using it was better than nothing.
It did look nice, but WAY too small....it is already quite useless. Not sure what method to go to now.....
the zip lock is holding up, perhaps that is the answer for me??
Coin Jar: er.....dish & zip lock???

Okay, I admit it. I have a curiosity of people’s coin jars. I love it when I visit a house for the first time and they have their coin jar in full view. I find it interesting...

I'm funny with keys. I don't lock my house or my vehicle........so I'm not into keys for functional purposes. But, I won't get rid of a key- no way!

See, that is what I love about coin jars! The key belongs there even when nobody has any idea what it is for. Classic
