UK residents are hoarding an estimated £50m in loose change, according to UK Finance.
Many retailers and entertainment venues were shut, and some shops have encouraged the use of contactless payments over cash.
Adrian Buckle, head of research at UK Finance, told the BBC that when people received a high-value coin in change, such as a £1 or £2 coin, they tended to carry it with them and spend it. Among the 1,000 people surveyed, most tended to hoard cash primarily for security, but also to pay friends and neighbours for shopping, for gifts and for pocket money.
