But what amounts should you have on-hand?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s recommended to keep a &#8220;cash box&#8221; for your garage sales and it&#8217;s also a good idea to keep the cash box stocked with smaller bills and coins. That way you don&#8217;t have to scramble around on the day of your garage sale to muster up a bunch of change.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Change_For_A_Garage_Sale_in_Coins\"><\/span>How Much Change For A Garage Sale in Coins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will need at least 5 rolls of quarters or 40 quarters, 2 rolls of dimes or 100 dimes, 3 rolls of nickels or 80 nickels, and 4 rolls of pennies or 200 pennies.<\/p>\n<p>The total amount that that would yield is $68 in coins.

You&#8217;ll need 20 one-dollar bills ($20), 10 fives ($50), 8 tens ($80).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_get_rolls_of_coins_and_smaller_bills\"><\/span>Where can you get rolls of coins and smaller bills?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your bank should be the first place you look if you need smaller bills and rolls of coins for your garage sale. Most banks will have a surplus of smaller bills and coin rolls for you as a banking customer.<\/p>\n<p>Grocery stores can also provide smaller bills and coins but don&#8217;t be upset if they say no. Often, these stores have to order their own supply of coins and small bills for the same purpose, but with their retail operations. Some stores will happily allow you to exchange bills for coins and break big bills for smaller ones.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_get_a_cashbox_to_store_my_garage_sale_cash_and_coins\"><\/span>Where can I get a cashbox to store my garage sale cash and coins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amazon has quite a few really sturdy cash boxes under $25. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07PRXVCY9\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=flawless054-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07PRXVCY9&amp;linkId=1b887e814e0ec3930cf7f1e4e0c3900f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here&#8217;s an amazing metal cash box with a combination lock &amp; security cable<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to get a durable, metal cash box with a lock for many reasons: 1. The lock will keep everyone honest when it comes to the cash money. 2. The metal box itself will be tougher to pry open than a plastic one. 3. The cable that connects this cash box to your wrist or nearby fixture is an added security measure.<\/p>\n<p>It may be a good idea to pick up 2 cashboxes if you are running the garage sale while your kiddos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygaragesale.app\/how-to-set-up-a-successful-lemonade-stand\/\">set up a successsful lemonade stand<\/a>. Allowing your kids to manage their own cashbox is a great way to teach them about money, transactions, and interacting with people. Just keep a close eye to ensure that they are being responsible with the cashbox. Don&#8217;t leave your children unattended at a garage sale with the cashbox.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Concluding_How_Much_Change_For_A_Garage_Sale\"><\/span>Concluding How Much Change For A Garage Sale?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You should have $68 in change for large transactions at your garage sale and $150 in total dollars on-hand for smaller transactions, like buying candy or drinks from you or purchasing socks or other small items.
