I had only left that pot there for about a week and when I picked it up there was probably about five bucks in it already. I just think it's funny that I stood on my head trying to motivate everyone to do this forever and it just happened on its own! I guess that's typical with kids! Glad you enjoyed your petty cash! :) Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-68257714628922468982014-04-29T17:00:01.837-04:002014-04-29T17:00:01.837-04:00Great story and I love the teapot ...of course.......Great story and I love the teapot ...of course......it's red :^)<br />MANY years ago, someone gave me a copper potpourri pot with holes in the sides...... Great for potpourri, but essentially useless for anything else. It sat around on a bookcase in the kitchen for a long time, and I occasionally dropped coins into that I found here and there. Last year we were getting ready for vacation, so I took the coins to the bank..... $135.72....WOW!! Bought us a few lunches and suppers!! We have been dropping change into again this year :^)<br />Blessings to you,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-66640690036470044172014-04-29T15:18:30.614-04:002014-04-29T15:18:30.614-04:00I love your change keeper, Kim.

We collect around $40 or so, for the past 4 years. :) I love how it teaches delayed gratification and how little things do add up. Whenever she sees change now, she knows to put it in her piggy bank. I also put $10 in her bank account every month, and though it is a small amount, my daughter now has $500 in savings, which is more than I currently have in savings.

We use that for the silver change and have a large jug that we used for the pennies. Not sure that there has ever been $140 in there at one time though. Good haul.
