If you're a teen without a job: start saving all those pennies in a jar (and all your other coins). Keep saving them until you're 18. Keep saving as many coins that you find.
In the end, once you move out, go to a Coinstar, or open up a bank account if you don't want to pay a fee. Boom. You should have, at worst, at least some spare income. Keep as much change as you can, and save it. Find as many lying coins on the ground and the couch as you can.

My mother does this quite a lot. This is some very easy cash.

I remember seeing a hobo every week moving a cart packed with bags full of cans. I'd always try to leave before him so I could grab any cans on the way to the store before he did.
