Should I put loose coins into separate containers so I know what they are?

Managing loose change

After shopping you may end up with a pocket of loose coins. Placing your coins into separately labeled or marked containers, or containers of different sizes, is an excellent idea.? This will assist you with quick and easy identification of your coins.? If your containers are all the same size, be sure to label them in large print or braille or some other visual or tactual marking so you can easily tell the difference between the containers and readily locate the one you need.?

Of course, if you're feeling lazy like many of us often do, you can deposit all your change into one container and then, when it's full, carry it to your nearest change machine (usually a local supermarket) and ask for assistance in obtaining bills for the coins you deposit — less a small percentage fee.
