Do you still keep the 5 and 10 centavos coins?

I was on board the jeep going to UN Avenue from Divisoria, when another passenger, a female college student, gave a 100 pesos bill to the driver as payment for the transpo. The driver then told the passenger if she  had smaller bills. Because she had no smaller bills, she just gave the driver some 1 peso coins, some several 5 centavo  and 10 centavo coins.  But the driver got mad and just threw away the 5 centavo and 10 centavo coins, saying those coins are really practically no value in the market anyway.

This situation got me to thinking. Do you still keep the 5 centavo and 10 centavo coins? Isn’t this a bad money habit as said by chief tonio that “you wouldn’t be a millionaire if you lack 5 centavos even if you have 999,999.95 pesos” ?
