My kiddo loves finding change in caches. It's one of his favorite things to find. So I think it's a YMMV situation. We keep lots of swag with us to swap (or just stock up a depleted cache) when we go caching because it's the primary motivation for most of the kids we've been caching with. But with all the micro caches, a lot of them just don't have room. So we've dropped change in a few caches that were big enough to hold coins but not big enough for any other swag, with the thought that other kids might also prefer to find a quarter rather than finding nothing at all. Again, YMMV.
