The Coinstar Hispanic National Currency Poll revealed that a majority of Hispanics have changed their financial plans for the remainder of 2010 in an effort to better protect their financial futures. Close to nine in ten (89%) of those Hispanics who plan to alter their financial plans for the year indicated that they'll put more of a focus on saving. In addition, they are closely monitoring their budgets, saving more of their spare change and cashing in their loose coins more often than they did just a year ago.

"Hispanics should consider their additional loose change to be an important part of their household budget," said Elianne E. Gonzalez, personal finance columnist and web author. "I encourage families to look to their coin jars as an easy way to encourage savings for defined goals and to supplement their spending."

From 1995 through the middle of this decade, homeownership rates rose more rapidly among all minorities than among whites.
