We did (and do) the five gallon thing. We take it and go on vacation with it. This was our first this year. we went to the Smokey Mountains. It probably took us about 3 1/2 hours to roll almost $500 in change. We had only been saving about 7 months. There was also cash in there but that didn't take any time to count. In addition to the change we throw in a dollar now and then if we have extra. The yard sale I just had went into the jar. I only made about $70 but everything was a quarter. and I live in a rural area. The way we counted the change was we dumped it a bit at a time in the middle of our kitchen table and each child was assigned a coin (we have 4) so they would pull only their coin out and after they were all seperated we set them in stacks.
