The Columbus Saves program, started by the Franklin County office of OSU Extension, enrolled 467 new savers in 2006. The top three goals for Columbus Savers are Savings/Investment (20 percent); Emergency Funds (14.3 percent); and Retirement (11.3 percent). In October 2006, coins totaling nearly $15,000 were rolled during the Columbus Roll Your Change Week at five downtown business locations.
