I hate loose change and give or throw most of mine away. However I do save the 5 cent coins as they provide a litre of water at water machines dotted around Cyprus.
It is noticeable that the main (tourist) thoroughfare in Ayia Napa doesn't have a single water machine. Conspiracy methinks between the Cypriot authorities and local shops and bars.
I don't really like very cold water and find the temperature of the water from the water machines just about right (even in the height of summer).
