Finally there are charities that are grateful for coins.

the local charities in Pottsville Beach wouldn't get any benefit from

At many (most?) international airports there are receptables (often pretty
small and hard to spot) put up by worthy local charities, precisely for
depositing miscellaneous coins, which they somehow manage to turn into
money.

A lot of airlines now participate in UNICEF's "Change for Good"

found in the aircraft seat pocket, which you hand it to the cabin
crew.
