Coppers and plastic Charity Dogs

    Hi.

    I regularly put coins in the Cork Animals Home 'Charity Dog' collection points {the plastic dog with the coin slot on its head}.
    Would it be okay to put in coppers as well as 10s, 20s, 50s, etc.? The reason I ask is because I don’t want to cause more trouble that its worth with all the coppers. Do these charities count with machines or do they hand count {in which case coppers would be a nuisance}.

    Thanks.

    Well - I don't know about this specific charity - but I used to be a Fundraiser for a charity and would never say no to copper coins!!! Most charities would have coin counters these days, and even if they didn't, would appreciate donations of any size.

    Money is money and every little counts - go for it with the small change!

    I also emailed the CSPCA and they said the same thing. :)

    Yep. Charity I volunteer with has the same opinion! So much so that we bought a mini coin counter for the coppers. It all adds up
