If you need the money, then go ahead and cash them in.
The local stores would probably like you to pay small amounts of them so they don't have to pay the armored car companies to carry them coins.

If you can sit on them, then yes, by all means, keep them at home.
Every dollar of coins you hold takes a dollar out of the bankster's pockets.

If you can trade the coins for silver, even better.
Silver is likely to moon over the next few months because of supply crunches due to mine closures by the covid.
And, maybe, the silver and gold fix is about to come to an end because of the dumpster fire getting into office.
Silver has been rigged for 150 years.
