Pocket piece and cheesy Atlantic City keychain stuff counts as well.
Zero here, but probably 3 or 4 after the visit to the dollar store.

Zero. I use credit cards for virtually all my purchases.

I still use cash for small purchases (so 3 coins) but the 2% cash back on the card is hard to beat.
Zero. I keep change in an old over-sized pill bottle. One in the house, one in the car.

Pocket? It's Saturday morning. Not wearing pants....
I carry the circulated proofs that I find—twelve and adding.
My brother and his friends all carry a silver piece. Either an Eagle, or old silver dollar. They meet for breakfast and other gatherings often. When there is a call for showing, who doesn't show that he has silver is charged with "vagrancy" and that guy buys .

all change is in a glass bowl

I'm a 100% credit card user here, so no coins (or bills) on my person.

Right now, at my desk zero. When I'm out and about? 3 silver halves and two mint markers.

I keep a role of Dollar Coins in my golf bag as tips for club staff ( Cart folks, beverage Cart Lady et al). I remind them that they are $'s and not quarters - most had never seen a Dollar Coin before.

Four, three quarters and a dime. I use cash often but I also don't want to be weighted down and jingle as I walk around, so I will usually empty my pockets as I get into the truck or on the nightstand each night.

That horse left the barn years ago. I almost never carry change, only having it when I pay cash for something and get change back. Then the change goes into the jar when I get home, and eventually goes to the bank.
Nine coins in there atm. I dump excess coins into a coin jar. Cash is king. I only use credit cards in an emergency or when traveling in countries thst dont use the dollar.

None. all my change ends up in a large cup, and after 1 year, is cashed in at Coinstar for, @ full face value, an Amazon G.C. Pays for my Prime subscription.
None in my pocket most of the time and a quarter in my car for unlocking Aldi shopping carts. If I receive coins in change I spend them in the self-checkouts at Walmart.
No coins, just a silver round for a pocket piece.
Four, 3 cents and a quarter I got when I picked up some cleaning and they charged extra for cc purchases.
I use credit cards for virtually everything, like so many others. I used to carry an old silver dollar pocket piece.
Zero.
Nickel and a cent after a could shopping stops this morning. 2016 D cent has a cruddy stain, so I'll drop it in the garbage.
Guess we are collecting obsolescence.
(man...that was hard to satisfy the spell check.
Three small local cash transactions today so far. All had been rounded by the sales person for even dollar amounts. Whats a dollar really worth anymore when our change is worthless?
Yeah, Go to McDonalds and it takes nearly 4 pounds of Lincolns to buy a quarter pounder...and the cashier will not be pleased.
Zero. As usual.

None. Emptied the pocket last night. But use bills for purchases as I still like to receive coins in change to scan them. You never know what may turn up.
Old school here. Cash only. Working a 24 hour shift I come home with 3 to 4 dollars change every third day. Into the milk jug it goes. Probably have close to $ 1500.00 " jugged up " Roughly 3 to 350 a jug. It takes several hours to go thru a jug, sorting by denomination, checking dates, quick glance for varieties then rolling them up. Averages 1 trip from the truck into the bank for each jug.
Zero for me. On the rare occasions I do get change, it goes into the cup holder in the car rather than into my pockets.
Not a good idea. Several years ago, some crack head in downtown Baltimore smashed the window on my daughter's car to steal a couple of dollars in change in her cup holder. It wasn't cheap to replace the window on her car.

Two dimes and two cents from my change at the Golden Corral. And, one quarter that I found in the parking lot at the Golden Corral.
No coins, I too am almost exclusively credit card (can't beat the free gold coins I earn from the points). I buy a lot of stuff from the Amish so sometimes cash is necessary but even most of them are accepting credit cards now. I do have about $670 cash in my wallet just for emergencies. RGDS!
None... they go in a can at home. However, I just got back from a trip to Europe and found myself using the 1$ and 2$ euro coins all the time. Lowest paper note is the 5$. Better system!
Five - two Morgans, an Ike, a Sac, and a Columbian Half.

I only have coins in my pocket when I score at the Coinstar at the local grocery store, so the amount varies.
So, 95% of the time, my pockets are empty. lol

Kennedys are my quest...
In this case, the cup holder is closed inside the center console, so it’s out of sight and doesn’t cause me much worry.
When I was in college, someone broke out my car window to steal a backpack filled with library books. As big a headache as it was, it did amuse me to imagine the thief anticipating a score only to find 30 lbs of Robert Frost and other assorted poets.
Did teach me to be careful about what was visible inside my car though.
Maybe every couple years, the terminals in the grocery store go down and it is cash only. Yeah, green always works.
Zero, but I’m taking donations!

The 21 was a horrible pad-printed colorized monstrosity and after a year in acetone and a little poking was revealed to be all scratched up. So I make it a pocket piece to remove the worst. I thought she was lonely so I bought her a companion from a dealer's junk box. The rest just happened to jump into my pocket. Honest.

I did just have 20 something quarters in mine. Ran up to grab smokes and forgot the wallet. What’s new….
Fortunately, I keep a healthy collection of quarters in the center console for situations just like this.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
What do you think Strauss, Levi 501s?
Very nice @BStrauss3, thanks! 👍
