They are mostly relegated to a jar that you take to the coin exchange once every X years. I honestly don’t remember the last time I actually carried coins and paid for something with them (aside from receiving them as change and dumping in said jar) but it was over a decade ago that I used to actually carry change in my pocket for use. Could have probably been two decades ago almost.

Probably the most actionable use I have for coins in todays era is having a quarter for the deposits for the carts at the Aldi lot.
