Small Change

I have a jar.

Well, actually it is an old Coca-Cola glass mug.

This mug is the receptacle into which I throw my small change each night.
It is full now . . . . and I am wondering what I should do with it. Should I put it in the bank? And if I do, should I continue to collect small change?

Should I get a larger container and just continue to collect small change?

I wonder how much I have in that mug? Is it enough to make a difference?
I've never counted it.

Could I buy a cheeseburger & fries? Or perhaps a bottle of wine?
Maybe it is enough to be a good start on a down-payment for something more significant? If I keep adding small change each night, perhaps I could soon buy a new tree for the yard? Or maybe a motorcycle? Or maybe even a long trip to sit on the white beaches of Sanibel Island?

I wonder . . . is there anything out of my reach, if I just keep saving my small change?
