I assume they’re mostly going to “spare change” jars in people’s homes.
I’ve never understood that. Even if they accumulate a fair amount, now they have to roll the coins and take them to a very unhappy bank teller, or just dump them in a coinstar machine which takes a percent off the top.
I’m the exact opposite. I always try to get rid of my coins. I save a handful of quarters, nickels & dimes in my car for parking meters, but that’s it. If I can’t spend them, I’ll just go to the credit union and deposit a $20 bill + 78¢ or whatever.
Plot twist - while I’m at the credit union, I ask if they have $2 bills. I got $80 worth last time. Now I’m the weird guy who tips in $2 bills. And people save those too, thinking they’re rare or out of circulation.

“Spare change jar” might not be accurate. Many people’s coins might be scattered amongst their pockets, purses, vehicles, etc, rather than in a centralized location.

I suspect you are not like most people :)

LOL, you might get along well with my dad. He’s purchased rolls of 50 cent pieces, to similar effect.
