O/T - I do the same thing, but into empty Scotch bottle canisters. I have about 5 or 6 full ones and 2/3 into my current. I don't know what I'll do with the cash, but it'll add up. I once counted out about 1/4 of a container and I was shocked!
You can always do what I do. I paid for my Vegas trip in July, gas, food, a suite at the NYNY, and gambling money. All from the change I saved for two years.
