I usually keep mine in a big old jar for the season and then cash it in at the bank or the coin star's coin counting machines. No need to clean discolored clad, they take 99% of it. If you use coinstar, you can choose to use the money to get gift cards for Amazon, iTunes and some retail stores at full value, rather than cash at the reduced rate. I am a big user of both iTunes and amazon, so I usually split it up between the two. Just got my new Lesche digger through Amazon with my summer cash!
