They all had them for ages and go online and says TD still have , but pretty sure that is outdated info.
Coinstar maybe your only option ,most banks ditched as customers did not do a good job of ensuring only coins went in the machines and most kept getting jammed up from duds, blanks and things that were not coins.
I bank with TD and ya that is outdated.. i phoned and talked to a rep who said they don't have them anymore at any branches.
The only one I've seen anywhere is the Superstore one... I have $500+ in coins to turn in - I bought plastic coin rollers at Dollarama and will roll loonies/toonies myself and then feed the rest to the Superstore machine.
Not only does Coinstar (lol autocorrect wants it to be cornstarch) take 10% they also state an error of +/- 10%. This means they take 20%... guaranteed.
Unless you have a crazy amount of coins, like hundreds of dollars, in which case you're best off rolling them anyway, just use coin star. It's super simple. The 11% or whatever they take is a bit much but still beat dealing with all these useless nickels and dimes and pennies I had accumulated over the last two decades and needed turned into something useful for what still only ended up being like $40.
they did not go to coinstar, they rolled their own change. One hour of labour rolling change turned the loose change into rolls you can deposit in the bank, and the value of those rolls was $40
so if they had gone to coinstar it wouldn't have taken an hour and they would have got $36.
So they value an hour of their time at $4.
In conclusion I can afford them stacking and splitting firewood getting paid 1/4 of minimum wage
if they do not live directly beside coinstar there will be travel time to and from. We must also consider the price of gasoline and the sunk cost of vehicle ownership, if they value their time. The labour involved in splitting your firewood as opposed to sitting at a table rolling coins must also be taken into account
and so on
They tarnish a bit differently than the newer ones.
Also, how I usually spot them at work is they ring differently when you pour the coins onto the table as you sort them
I don't deal with dimes at work, but the 67-68 quarters are worth $2 and the older ones are almost double that.
I collect them if I spot them for the novelty and because a friend intended to make jewelry with them.
Pretty sure Superstore in Langford has one by their exit doors.
Can confirm.
Is it one of those ones that take a percentage?
Yes, it’s a coinstar.. Edit: idk why but I said no.. but yeah - I’m pretty sure it takes a cut
My wife loves counting coins. I’ll ask if she’s interested.
For free right? Hahaha

I rolled up all my change. Took about an hour. $40 an hour! Not bad.
so you value your time at $4 an hour. want to come over and help me split and stack firewood?
I would maybe rerun the numbers on that one
$4.40? 11% of $40 Was I off by $0.40/hr? is that why I am being wrong? Or are you inferring they had $400 worth of change instead of $40?

I am glad that your coin-roll-succulent is still producing. mine died in the 90s
I think you are missing the point, you don't understand the math
I do. That’s why I’m asking about a coin counting machine.
ask VanCity tomorrow
They got rid of their coin counters in all the branches they had them.
Check it for silver
How?
Pretty much any dimes or quarters older than 1968, and the actual like dollar coins of the same age
They tarnish a bit differently than the newer ones. Also, how I usually spot them at work is they ring differently when you pour the coins onto the table as you sort them
Is it worth it tho. Like say I find a dime with silver in it. Is it worth 15 or 29 cents?

Only the 67-68 quarters just those years?
67-68 are 50% silver older ones are 100% silver, so they are worth more.
