It will promote savings via the piggy bank or change jar. For years while I was working I would always pay for everything with folding cash. Very seldom used a credit card if at all. Every evening I would empty the change into a large piggy bank that had been in the family for 40+ years. I would just let it build up and once a year empty it, roll everything and head to the bank. Always looked odd walking into a bank carrying a brief case about an inch off the ground as it was so heavy. I still do this today and since being retired and using a credit card ($ rewards and cash rewards) it takes a lot longer to get a decent amount.

Still carry 2 Sacagawea coins around for luck and a few $2.00 bills for restaurant tips.
