I have a huge mason jar (works great as a doorstop) behind my bedroom door that's supposed to be for pennies. My nephew (7) made a really cool colored plastic dish I keep on my dresser for silver change. I do have a plastic Smiley face bank that I don't use but have had since childhood. I remember my parents (it used to be theirs) emptying it to buy a vacuum cleaner when I was about 4 (back in the '70s).
