Growing up for our birthdays we got to grab a handful of coins from the "money jar". My maternal grandfather had an old pickle jar that he had filled with all his pocket change. All the cousins got to participate. There were some rules to this and he kept track in a little book (my mom is using the same little book, filled with all of Grandpa's notations) how much each grandchild got.
After Grandpa Conrad died the jar was retired. Recently, though my mom found the jar and took it. She washed all the money and added some quarters :) Now my kids get to enjoy the tradition, too!
