That's a good idea, Karen! I'm familiar with the Heifer project because our Vacation Bible School collects for that project every year (and yes, they request everyone to send their change).

Scott and I have 3 money jars. There is one huge vase on our dresser where he dumps his change (and yes, I have "borrowed" from it at times for lunch money and drink money for the children). There is a small glass container in the kitchen where I empty my pockets and my wallet, occassionally, too. And there is a jar above the washing machine, as well, where I gather up any stray coins that end up there. We "cash in" in June of each year to pay for our "fun" on our annual beach trip. Sometimes we have in excess of $100, maybe even more.
