What does everyone do with the endless accumulated 1p, 2p and 5p coins?

They are just so USELESS. I empty them out of my pockets every day and they sit on window sills, in jars, in tins, in little dishes and sit there reproaching me. You can't buy anything with them without causing a queue hold up while the little sods get counted. I just don't know what to do with them
