I tried one time to fill up a 5 gallon jug of water -- you know, the big blue jug that goes upside down over the water dispenser -- with change. I quit after a week and used a small container instead. LOL!!!! The 5 gallon jug was just so depressing cuz the coins would be so lonely on the bottom. :) I absolutely love this idea.

Good way to save up... but if possible, every time you get $5 or $10 in the jar, you could put it in a dedicated savings account and be getting some interest on it - It might only raise an additional $5 or $10 for the year, but that's still more $$ for your vacation or special treat! Then keep track of it on a thermometer gauge or a colored in picture of the money jug? Great analogy.
