Use Prescription Bottles for Storing Quarters

I take several Rx every month and I accumulate lots of empty bottles. Someone posted that these make nice places to hold screws, nails, etc. But what I use them for is storing my State quarters. Each bottle holds $10 worth of quarters.

What makes this a frugal thing is that fact that these can be grabbed for a quick last minute birthday gift. Take of the labels and if you desire you can decorate with contact type paper. College kids love getting quarters and so do younger kids.

I also know of a place that does take the empty bottles to recycle to other nations. I have a bag full waiting to take. I think in my area this place only takes the bottles once a month on a specific day.
