Do you have a large jar of spare change in your home? Collecting coins to be eventually counted and converted into paper cash can actually have a negative impact on the environment. When you amass a collection of hundreds -- if not thousands -- of coins, it pulls them out of circulation and forces the U.S. Mint to manufacture more spare change. This change uses metal, mined out of the Earth, which translates to valuable resources and energy being used to make pennies, nickels and dimes.
