Strange topic, I know. What do you do with loose change here. We've been using our 100 fils coins for water refills and tips but we are down to 50fils and under now and they are piling up fast....

Hi Lindochka

Why not try changing them for larger bills, like 1,5 or 10 BD at the bank ? , they do that you know .

I have the same issue.聽 100's for water and I keep 50's as backup.聽

Honestly, everything else I get at the register now gets put into a donation box for the dogfather here at work.聽 With how often I use cash I am impressed at how it all adds up.

Thanks, you two.

Back home they would go into a donation box as well but there aren't many around me.

But yes, will try the bank if I can't find a box.
