Guys, where do you put your coins?

Guys, where do you put your coins? I've tried wallets with a coin pocket; they made my wallet too bulky. I'd taken to using that little coin pocket that some pants have (just below the belt loop on the right); that was not bad, but my newest favourite pants don't have a pocket like that. Is there an easy way to hack a little pocket into an existing set of pants? Or a simple, non-bulky way to carry coins? Thanks.
Just throw all change in your back pocket and try to spend it as quickly as possible. During the work day, I just throw it into my bag or if I'm at my desk, I just put it into a cup and then transfer to my bag when I have a chance.

Coins are rubbish. I never take any out in the morning, any I accumulate during the day I put in a big jar that I take to the bank every now and again.

I've always gone with keys in the left, change in the right as well. But the change started bothering me when I got my first real job and had to wear dress slacks to work. So I just brought a little container to work and, if I ever get any change, it goes straight into the container. Same on weekends, I always dump change as soon as I get home.
The best thing about the work container idea, for me anyway, is that I always had change to get soda from the machine.

I carry a little knit coin purse.
There. I said it.
The first few times I pulled it out, I felt self-conscious and unmanly, but now I don't even think about it. And it makes a huge difference in actually using up all that loose change that accumulates.

I'll echo others in this thread... I keep a jar on my desk at work and on my dresser at home, coins get emptied out almost immediately.
If I'm out and about I'll usually drop my change in one of those donation boxes, usually for the local animal shelter or Ronald McDonald house.

I never carry change on purpose - I can't think of any uses that it has other than laundry and parking meters*. You know when you're going to do the former and you can leave quarters in your car for the latter. So when I get change, it goes in one of my front pockets, and when I empty my pockets at home the change goes in a small tupperware. From there it's easy to use for the aforementioned things, and can be deposited in bulk. Of course, this may be easier for me since 95% of my purchases go on my credit card, so if you're a cash guy you may find this inconvenient.

Back pocket. When it gets too heavy, I spend some, or drop it in a charity box next time I'm in a shop.

My approach is largely the same as Tehhund's, though it works less well for those outside the US where coins are actually worth something. When traveling where coins had value, I let them ride freely in my pocket.

You need one of these bad boys. Cooler than a clasp topped coin purse because it is like a little plastic head and when you squeeze the head it opens its mouth and you put coins in it.

Coin purse kept in my messenger bag, which is usually with me. As I live in the UK, I do keep £4-5 in my wallet's coin pocket as well. Don't keep change in my pockets ever.

I keep a small amount of change in the coin pocket of my wallet which is kept in my front pocket. I also keep a coin purse in my bag for vending machine needs or whatever.
Since I live in the US, the coins don't add up to much, but the key to keeping it manageable is spending them at a decent rate. Sure it may mean checking out of a store takes a few extra seconds, but it's either that or letting all that change build up.

I only carry coins when I get them as change. Then when I get home I dump them into a jar. How often do you use the coins that you carry? Do you pay cash I lot? I try to use cash as little as possible.

If I lived in Europe or Canada and could actually buy something with coins I would figure out a way to carry some. Like others here: I don't pay cash much. I put them in my desk drawer at work, the center console in my car and a jar at home. Periodically I cash them in.

If it's a tipping situation, I round up to an even dollar amount. If it's a big purchase, I generally don't use cash.
And, since you ask, yes, it is easier for the clerk to make change--after all, s/he has a neatly-arranged drawer full of it.

Put your coins into a kitty at the end of the day. When the kitty's full, cash the coins into bills. Save these bills for a very rainy day. Repeat this process FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I'm an American damnit! I have the constitutional right to carry my money in paper form!
Seriously, I dump my change in little bowls. I have one at home, the ash tray in the car, and one at work. When I need change for a vending machine or a parking meter I draw it out of these bowls. Otherwise I go through life blissfully free of jingling pants.
Oh, and every once and a while we dump the bowls together and take them down to my bank where there is one of those counting machines.

Not a guy, but don't carry a "purse".
Regardless of whether I'm home (in the states) or abroad, I carry coins in my right front pocket. When I'm in the states I never really think about it until I get home and then I dump the coins into one of four containers (one for each coin denomination). If I am out during the day and I remember that I have some coins I'll go ahead and try to make correct change, but I'm also just as likely to pay with a plastic card.
When I'm abroad is when it gets dicey for me because, indeed, coins have value. In some places more than others. But regardless of where I am I make a concerted effort to pay in cash to avoid fees, which means I end up with more coins than usual and it's not unheard of for me to wind up with 20+ dollars, euros, pounds, etc. in my pocket. So now I also make a concerted effort to check the change in my pocket before pulling out a bank note because I cannot exchange the change upon my return to the US.

Anything smaller than a quarter I put in the "Take a penny, leave a penny" saucer at the register. Quarters I take home in my pocket because they're useful at the laundry machine and put in the jar by the front door as soon as I get home. We've got a second jar for any non-quarters that make it home.
Pennies in particular are useless because the only machine they interact with are those Coinstar™ counting machines at the grocery store.
Don't leave the house with coins. All they'll do is wear a hole in your pocket.

I have two jars on my desk. One is for pennies and nickels, and the other is for dimes and quarters. When they get full, I empty them out and separate them into their own bags. I recently spent about a hundred dollars of quarters and dimes over the course of a month while I was out of cash and waiting for a new debit card to arrive. I got thanked once by a cashier whose neatly-arranged drawer was low on quarters.

What's wrong with your pocket? Think how much time you would loose in shops opening your hypothetical coin container device, digging through the container for the right coins, clumsily putting your change back into the container, angrily picking up the coins you dropped while trying to put them back into the container. Hours. Years! You are a guy. Easy and fast access to your spare change is one of the perks of your pant-wearing, purse-spurning heritage. Embrace it.

I keep change in my left front pants pocket with my wallet. Each morning, I take everything out, reserve 4 quarters for parking meters and tips and dump the rest into a jar, eventually sorting it and putting it into coin rolls. It builds a nice little reserve for small luxuries.

I don't really like carrying coins. When I do get them, I'll put them in my pocket, and if I have another cash transaction I'll try to use them ... but generally I'll just take them out at the first opportunity and put them in a spare cupholder in my car. Periodically I'll take the contents of that cupholder (generally depleted of quarters, which get used for parking) into the house and dump them in a jar. When the jar gets full it goes to one of those CoinStar machines where it gets turned into Amazon.com gift certificates. (CoinStar is a ripoff if you use it to produce cash, but they don't take a cut if you accept a gift certificate instead, and an Amazon giftcard is, to me, as good as cash.)
If my bank accepted loose coins for deposit I'd probably take them down and deposit them, but I think they insist on rolled coins and that's just not worth the time, particularly since I generally use up the quarters so we're just talking about small change.
The net effect of this procedure is that any transaction I have to pay for in cash "costs" whatever the rounded-up-to-the-next-dollar amount is, in my head. And to be honest if I'm not headed back to my car where I can dump the change, I'll usually just put it in the SPCA donation cup. It's not worth scratching the display on my cellphone for a few cents of change.
tl;dr: I mainly use plastic.

I carry a single quarter in my wallet to ameliorate the occasion a purchase comes out to x dollars and < .25 and I'd be due a ton of change back if I were to pay in paper. Seems to work well enough. For meters I keep in my car.

At the store, change from a cashier goes in the tip jar on the counter. If there isn't a tip jar, change goes in my pocket until I get in the car. I keep everything but pennies in the car to pay for parking. Pennies go in a jar at home to be taken to the machine at the market.

Pennies? Throw them on the ground or in the trash: whichever is easier.
Nickels and dimes? Leave 'em in the "Take a penny, leave a penny" jar.
Quarters? They're big enough that you can probably get away with letting them run free in your pocket.
Dollar coins? What are "dollar coins"...?
When the United States discontinued the half-cent coin in 1857, it had a 2008-equivalent buying power of 11 cents.

Mostly I pay for things with a card but in the rare occasion that I do end up with change in my pocked (left), the quarters go in the glove box for parking meters and the rest go into sorted jars on my dresser. I never take coins with me when I leave the house try to avoid them in general.

Keep it in your back pocket until you next go to the shops. The best thing about self-service checkouts in supermarkets is that you can throw your £6.37 fistful of shrapnel into the coin slot every time and just pay the balance on your card.

This time of year coins go in my right coat pocket, to be transferred to the Cup Of Coinage Doom at the end of the day (or whenever things get too noisy).
In warmer weather, I'll usually jam them into the section of my wallet that's meant for bills. That said, I have a large girly wallet. So that information probably isn't useful for you. Then again, as a dude, most of your clothes probably have pockets that would allow you to extend my winter solution year-round.

Probably just repeating some variation of the above, but...
I usually just scoop whatever change the universe has given me into my left pocket (I'm left-handed) along with my keys. A pocket knife that I'm sorta precious about (a bone-handled Case) rides in my right.
I tend to use cash sporadically based on what cash has come my way. If someone pays me for a music lesson in cash, in the wallet it goes, getting turned into lunches, etc. that would otherwise likely have gone on the debit card. I *like* to keep cash and pay cash, because it makes the banking easier, but the problem is I'm strange and tend to spend cash quicker than money from a debit card (yet another way YMMV if you're a Dave Ramsey acolyte, as I tried to be).
So my change tends to accumulate when I pay cash, because I hate to be "that guy" fiddling with dimes and pennies at the register while people are fuming behind me.
The way I get rid of change is largely at collection boxes (I try to stay out of McDonalds, but Ronald McDonald houses are really a good cause) and tip jars. I wind up at Starbucks every 2-3 days, and since I'm usually going to the same one I don't feel bad tipping anywhere from nothing to a whole dollar depending on what kind of cash I have (I usually actually pay for my coffee with a starbucks card). They don't seem to spit in my coffee, so they seem to grok my system, or don't care.
I try to keep a few quarters stashed in the car for the occasional parking meter, which is the only time in my life I really, really must have coins. I don't interact with vending machines much.

When I carry coins at all, I carry them in in this coin pouch. It opens up easily, so I can get the coins out without trouble, but is held flat in my pocket so coins rarely escape.
When you lay it out flat, you can see it's just a folded piece of leather, with a two-layer bottom. I've never seen anything else like it, and have no idea where to find one--it belonged to my grandpa before he died, so it could plausibly be 50+ years old. As you can see, the leather is quite discolored (not helped by a few trips through the washer on my part), but it's holding up well and suits my needs.

> When I carry coins at all, I carry them in in this coin pouch.
That looks almost exactly like the one I have/use. Got it from a shoe and luggage repair place near my parents house :)

If anyone finds this thread, by trawling through the site weapons-grade pandemonium links to, I've found a nice looking wallet of exactly the type yuwtze describes. I'm a little bit too excited about this.

The Quarter Dock!
Holds smaller coins as well. You can't choose your color, but it doesn't really matter since they're so helpful. I ordered two and received a red one and a blue one. Highly recommend!

Sadly, my slowly dying coin purse got stolen in Hawaii (along with a shit ton of stuff more valuable), but since then, I've found a Japanese portable ashtray with the same "press the sides and it opens" construction. It's not as good as the original, but it's not bad.
