Who Saves/Collects Bottle Caps Here?

I do this. I have one jar for "unique caps" and then another jar where double + go in. I make the uniques into magnets and put on my fridge..the freezer is almost covered at this point.

 

I have coffee cans full of em. I keep thinking I am going to use them to build a bar top, put them under plexiglass and make a real cool conversation starter of a bar. But all I seem to accomplish is a lot of planning and collecting caps! I always have a coffee can on top of the beer fridge.

 

I have a HUGE bag of craft beer caps that I have been saving for years. To be ironic, I was going to give them to Miller's promotion bottle caps for troops. Any body where I can drop off about half paper shopping bag's worth of caps?

 

Admit it, you're a hoarder--welcome to the club. Meetings are on the third Thursday of the month.
I've got a couple hundred caps on magnets stuck to metal banding outlining the bar. I'm small time compared to some of the people out there.

 

I've got a half gallon jar full and another one filling. I'm not sure how many bottle cops it's going to take to cover a plastic light up nativity, but I will find out.

 

I started in the 90s. I'm getting close to 1,700 now, all different. I always say I'm going to figure out a way to display them, but it never happens.

 

I have been saving bottle caps (and concert tickets) for as as long as I can remember, way before I was a beer advocate. I just have a coffee can full of the unique bottled beers that I've enjoyed. I used to dump it out and reminisce about past beers, but it's been a long time since I have done that....maybe I'll do it now.

 

I've been saving beer bottle caps since 1995. My favorite I think seems to be the Ayinger, with the pretty country setting on it with 3 people drinking beer at the table in the yard.

I noticed several that are no longer being made or I haven't seen in a long time. New Amsterdam out of NY? There was a beer they made that I remember really liking about 10-15 years ago.

 

My roommate and I keep them in a large paper bag because we believe in post-apocalyptic America they may be traded as currency.

 

here's the unique caps i have.....

 

like most other posters here, I save unique caps from breweries. if it is different in any possible way from another in the jar, in it goes.

my fiancé couldn't be happier I have chose to do this for the last couple years.

 

Yeah, I'm doing it, but not for as long as some of you guys. I started because I was fascinated by the different designs and logos. My plan is to hammer them into a section of a large hemlock tree that came down on my property during Sandy. I'll spell out some witty message or welcome (it's a large diameter tree) and when some of my friends see it, they will be amazed that there are more than 10 beers in the world.

 

Saving all of them- hoping to be able to build a sweet coffee table or bar surface in whatever inevitable man cave I end up having in the future. From what I understand, I'm a long, long way from being able to do so, though- these kinds of projects take a LOT more bottle caps than one would think.

 

Is that a Chicago Cubs cap? Is it beer? I would sure love one, despite being a Giants fan!

 

The Cubs cap was from an Old Style, which you don't really see in bottles that often. Was at a backyard BBQ a few years back and someone had those.

 

I don't reckon' you have another one for trade...?

 

this is how I do it...(screws and velcro and many hours) http://imgur.com/QXUt355

 

I've been collecting them for a few years. Made one small tabletop under epoxy, plan to do more, but I don't know what yet.
