The Art of the Coin Jar

When we are children, we're taught the benefits of a coin jar or piggy bank. Deposit your loose change in the jar on a regular basis, and in no time you will have accumulated a small fortune. As adults, many of us put this ritual aside and graduate to a formal savings fund - but why rid yourself of the classic coin jar technique?

Whether you're saving for a vacation, for college tuition or for a house, every penny helps! Start using a coin jar today to be mindful of every cent, and to set you on your way to achieve your financial goals. These are a few of our favorite mini banks... how would you decorate yours?

P.S. For best results, place your coin jar in well-chosen location so you remember to put it to use regularly!
