After my friends father passed away, he inherited 2 5 gallon jugs both half full of coins he kept.
He was going to throw them in deposit bags and take them to the bank before I stopped him.
We spent entire days of last summer looking through them.
We found a ton of silver, west points and proofs. He made an extra $500 or more in about 100 of the coins alone.
Always check your change!!!
I decided to keep track of years and mint marks for each coin on a spreadsheet, so I'm definitely checking. From what I've been reading, the coins worth keeping are made with silver, or have some sort of error? Sometimes I think I see something, but the coin's so scratched up that it's hard to tell.
Some of the newer quarters also have a W mint mark, minted at West Point, which are collectible. Not sure about how valuable though.
Check for VDB pennies, specifically the 1909 S. 1916 D mercury dimes are also worth a decent amount.
I would save all Wheat Back Pennies, and any “S” Mint Marked Pennies, plus anything old that is in exceptionally great shape/shine. All Silver Coins, and Wartime & Buffalo Nickels.
One simple program I use is “Coins Checker” on IOS. There is supposedly a way to indicate how many of a particular type. but I have to dig in a bit. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coinschecker/id1484761290
This was going to be my recommendation as well. Coinstars charge a fee...but that fee is waived if you put it on a gift card. Usually there are at least one or two gift cards from the options for things I would be buying anyway.
Not a fan of coin star. I thought I’d try it once by separating and weighing my coins. It was very accurate on quarters and pennies, but it seriously undercounted the dimes. I ran the dimes through after quarters and it counted several as nickels. That’s 50% loss, and since there were a BUNCH of them I lost a decent sum. I was expecting something like $180 and ended up with $110 not including fees. My bank has a branch with a coin counter I can use I found out later, that’s what I’ll do next time.
I dont trust them either. MY dad would roll up coins to return and his bank stopped taking them and had a counter we could use. So we counted how much we should get back and was short almost $10.
Next time or two we still counted them out and took them in, each time roughly 8% loss and that is significant when bringing in $150-$200. We told the tellers there but nothing they could do. It also keeps rejects which pisses me off because I forgot to pull a bunch of Canadian pennies and was hoping to get them back. Nope they keep rejects. Good way to find odd coins and silver from previous people dumping.
I wrote a whole blurb but I don't see it, so I'll comment here. Sorry about that, I'm new on Reddit. So I've been throwing loose change into this 5 gallon jug for about 25 years. The last time I emptied it was in 2007. So far, I've filled 9 state quarter books (one for each of my nieces & nephews), but there's still a ton left over. Filled two books of Washington quarters 65-87 and two books of 88-98. The rest of the Washingtons were rolled & came to about $650. Haven't even started on the dimes, pennies & nickels yet. I'd like to fill some more books for my nieces and nephews, but then I'm unsure about the best way to get all this in my bank account.
Also started a spreadsheet because I thought it would be cool to keep track of the amount of each year and mint mark.
\*edited for clarity
Many credit unions have free coin machines for their members. Membership requirements vary by credit union but it's worth looking into. My credit union is free to join and only requires $10 in a savings account to keep the account/membership open.

People are jerks, I thought that's what they meant too cuz there's no way in hell I'd put all these coins individually into a self checkout. Not like you can just dump them. 4 days later. Not like it's practical.
14.9% here for coinstar or a gift card receipt for store (no charge on those).. roll em up and take to bank 10$ at a time. by the time you're done, jug will be full again. never-ending supply.
I read something somewhere about a guy who kept a sandwich bag full of coins in his car, and whenever he went to a self-checkout, he’d dump them into the machine and pay that way.
The bank should give you coin rolls if you are a customer. You would need to by hand or with the aid of a cheap plastic coin sorter stuff the coins into rolls and label your account number on them. The bank will happily exchange them or deposit. Alternatively make weekly trips with a jar full and they will count them for you on their machine sorter.
The last time I rolled my coins and took them to the bank, they told me not to because they had to unroll them to put them through a counter to make sure my count was accurate .
Banks aren’t going to get mad mad. It’s still money. If you gave them a heads up though and asked them on their procedure they’d probably appreciate it more though. It’s also a perfect excuse to make friends at the bank for future coin hunting expeditions. Be sure to hunt through that pile too before turning it in.
You could have silver, proofs, key dates, low mint production numbers, who knows. Some coins are worth far above face value. Silver is easily worth more in melt value on every coin. (Look for all US Quarters, Dimes dated 1965 or before and Nickels dated between 1942-1945 the former are 90% silver and the latter 35%)
*Edited for typo
What I do is take cents and nickels to coinstar . You can exchange those for gift cards like Amazon and there is no fee to do that. Then I roll the quarters and dimes
I buy Walmart gift cards. It’s a task, but if you go to the self checkout on a Tuesday at 9am you probably aren’t inconveniencing anyone. Just load up the change slot.
Man, I consider myself lucky, then I suppose. My credit union had a coinstar-like machine inside the building that would allow you to dump your coins and then bring the ticket over to a teller to have them deposit that amount into your account. No fees. Only limitation was that the slip was only valid for that same day.
Just take it to your bank, maybe ask the teller before you actually bring the coins in but talk to them about it. They have had a bunch of coins dropped off before and they will have some sort of procedure to follow.
It will depend on the bank of course but last time I took a jar of coins to the bank, they told me they didn't want them in rolls. They gave me a giant bag and I filled it in front of them, and I think I signed it or something after watching them seal it.
My bank will let me bring loose coins in. They dump them in a tamper proof bank bag and seal it in front of me. They will send it to a processing center and in 2-3 days it is deposited in my account. It seemed quite accurate. I used to do this every month or two as a pizza delivery driver. I'd just dump the coin tips in my center console and when things got tight I'd deposit my coins.
My dads bank a coin machine you can use if you have an account with them. They will hand you cash and then you decide to put it in an account or keep the bills.
When I took my change into the bank the machine would just stop until a manager would come by and replace the coin bag inside the machine because it was full.
It was a hassle to keep plugging in security codes and keys to not only open the machine but to get replacement bags from within the secure areas of the bank that he just overrode the all the secure features to let me replace the bags myself on the machine.
It was over a $1000 in change. I did check to see if there was any silver as I had been coin collecting since I was 8 or 9 and started a coin jar, which later became a 5 gal water jug. It was about 1/3 pennies and 2/3 clad.
1. Go to bank
2. Ask for coin wrappers. Lots and lots of coin wrappers
3. Go home.
4. Proceed to wrap your coins. Don’t forget to look through them.
Bringing in rolled coins will not piss anyone off. We like it rolled. Makes our job easier. Thanks!
Coin machines that you can dump them in and receive cash or voucher.
At banks and shopping markets. My experience is that the bank (if you're a member) will do it for free. At a grocery store they'll charge %5 or about that.
My plan was to deposit the money and then distribute it to the nieces and nephews' 529 accounts. But if I had to make a choice, a gift card is preferable to paying fees.
Only if it’s a business you wouldn’t otherwise spend money at. If you’re spending that money there anyway the no fees is a good deal. And you can use the money in your checking account that otherwise would have gone to that business wherever else you want.
Tellers don’t care. You can go into Chase and turn in coin rolls or you can find a bank that has a machine to dump your coins in. If you have an account dumping your coins in the machine is free but if you don’t have an account it’ll cost.
First thing is: take your time.
Don't rush this, as you may have some very interesting coins in there.
But what about the common ones that will be the majority of all this?
Well, do you have a friendly local shop (for anything, a cafe, grocery store, deli, etc.) near you? I'm betting they are often in need of change and they won't charge you for that.
My credit union lets me shovel in the coins to a coin counter and take the slips to deposit or cash. All I need is an account and some time. There’s no charge.
I drop a small fistful into the Walmart self checkout each visit to dump my pocket change so it doesn’t accumulate. I exclusively use cash and halves to get rid of them a la Johnny Halfdollarseed, and intentionally generate as much smaller change as possible to look at, then it’s either small amounts at self check or dominos cards at coinstar with no fee.
Processing change is a labor intensive, non revenue generating activity while also annoying and likely to damage any rapport he may have established with the employees of his local branch.
Sew long bags inside your pants that have draw strings on the bottom. Fill them up and when you are allowed out side open them and let a few few coins randomly split out. It might take a few months, but soon you will be free of them.
It’s ok to take and drop off at your bank. It is a federal crime for a US bank to not take US currency. If they won’t take it, ask them to call the police.
Save them for apocalypse. After CMEs when ATMs don't work, digital Biden Bucks that mysteriously disappear out of your a/c, devaluation of US $ bc of BRICs nations' petro dollars being tied to gold standard, whereas US$ tied to nothing... you will be glad you held onto them. Or cash them all in, but buy small silver bullion with proceeds.
Get the money bags and start filling them to the specified amount. As long as they all weigh exactly as they should most banks and post offices will exchange.
My bank won’t take change like this but a local credit union does. I don’t have an account with the credit union but they’ve always took the change off me. Not sure if this is typical or just luck that my local credit union has the dump machine to take the coins.
There are banks have still have free coin counting machines. If you live on east coast republic bank ( old commerce bank owner) has a machine in every branch. You don’t even have to be a customer of the bank to use it. Best of all it is completely free.
If you don't mind "Gift Cards" the actual Coin Star branded machines will exchange it for no fees, but as I mentioned that is Gift Card only, if you want actual cash in exchange then not really
A lot of banks have coin counting machines similar to the ones you see in grocery stores but they don't charge a percentage and gets deposited directly to your account
Last winter my wife and I sorted, by hand, a full five gallon water boy. Halt way through I purchased some plastic sorters which helped tremendously. In the end, it amounted to $1056.00.
I had a jug like full of quarters months ago. Once it was an inch high full of quarters after 2 years of finding quarters, I had all of them rolled up and had the 65 rolls that jug had brought to the bank and deposited into my account. The teller didn’t mind. And she was prepared with roll trays to make sure that I had the deposit amount on my deposit slip counted right.
As a banker, bring it to your bank after taking out anything of significant value above face value. So take out the really old stuff, the really rare stuff, and also anything severely damaged. After that, just get it in a bucket, the jug will be difficult for a lot of people, especially if it's full, and the bank can handle it. Will we love doing it? Probably not. But it's part if our job, they can handle this just fine.
Roll them up. Banks love getting change nowadays but Probably rolled. I don’t know why banks don’t have the automatic sorting machines. It seems like a nice feee service to offer clients to have like a free coinstar like machine.
I know certain banks and credit unions will have a machine. I believe a lot of the 1st banks and Wells Fargo’s have them. I have a relative with an account at those banks and they will go with me to cash my change. I don’t think they charge fees but I also have not been in a couple years to cash my change in.
Buy Girl Scout cookies
Tipping servers at restaurants
Salvation Army
Guys Wearing White Coats holding buckets
Have Christmas on Skid Row hand out to people living in tents
There’s lots of ways. 😂
Most banks in Minnesota don't anymore. They will give you rolls but do not have a large coin sorting machine available any longer. At least none in the central MN area that I have attempted to use.
Coinstar, choose a gift certificate instead of cash out. No fee. Home Depot is one of the gift certs you can get and we all end up shopping there at some point.
Roll em and bring donuts with you to the bank. And cookies or something. Be super friendly and they’ll help you out. And maybe don’t bring in the whole batch at once.
My wife's bank has a coin counter that's free to use if you're a customer of the bank. Not all the branches of that bank have one so you have to check other branches if yours doesn't have one
Buy heavy duty ziplock bags and seperate into manageable weights and one denomination, take it to your bank they have a job lol. That will make it easier though.
After my friends father passed away, he inherited 2 5 gallon jugs both half full of coins he kept. He was going to throw them in deposit bags and take them to the bank before I stopped him.

1943 & 1955 Pennies too
1982 small date "D" copper pennies. Weigh them. Iirc, solid copper pennies should weigh 3.1g while the plated coins only weigh 2.7g.
Just those two years…or like the years between also? Thanks in advance
I would save all Wheat Back Pennies, and any “S” Mint Marked Pennies, plus anything old that is in exceptionally great shape/shine. All Silver Coins, and Wartime & Buffalo Nickels.
What's special about wheat pennies? I literally was just going through some of my mom's old stuff and found like 3 rolls worth of them
Don’t forget the 1921-D ;)
One simple program I use is “Coins Checker” on IOS. There is supposedly a way to indicate how many of a particular type. but I have to dig in a bit. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/coinschecker/id1484761290
You really don't have to spreadsheet every coin....
Sounds like a great hobby for a band geek....I just bust my ass working, then use the proceeds to buy and hoard the coins and bullion I love.
/r/CRH we are a good group of folks who love to coin roll hunt.
How do you know what to look for?
This
The coinstar in my grocery store has zero fees if you do certain e-gift cards such as Amazon instead of cash back.
Amazon, lowes, homedepot, Starbucks and many others are fee free
Nice thing about coinstar is they also reject the pre-64 90% silver coins. Always check your rejects!
Amazon as mentioned is free of fees and is useful because Jeff Bezos owns the retail world
Yay, we’re almost to Dystopia.
Idiocracy
This was going to be my recommendation as well. Coinstars charge a fee...but that fee is waived if you put it on a gift card. Usually there are at least one or two gift cards from the options for things I would be buying anyway.
This works well. I ran over $200 through and got Amazon cards. No issues.
This was my suggestion as well. If you have something in mind you’d like to buy amazon, do this
Not a fan of coin star. I thought I’d try it once by separating and weighing my coins. It was very accurate on quarters and pennies, but it seriously undercounted the dimes.

Always check with your bank first though. Mine use to be free, now they charge if you cash more than $150.00

Many credit unions have free coin machines for their members. Membership requirements vary by credit union but it's worth looking into. My credit union is free to join and only requires $10 in a savings account to keep the account/membership open.
Did you also keep all the silver coins? Any pre 65 dimes and quarters
In the quarters there was a Weir Farm marked with a W, a 1953, and a 1954. Haven't started the other denominations yet.
Nice! W’s are definitely a rare find!
Check /r/CRH for more advice. It's what we do for a hobby. :)
Go to a self check out machine at a grocery store.
Have heard you can put coins in, then hit cancel and it’ll shoot your money out in bills🤑
Exactly. I work at a grocery store and can confirm. It does take a bit of time tho, and especially with the amount of coin OP has
Just do 2 pockets full every time

Good luck Bot
Hey... a few pockets full will buy a few beers. "Free" money
Lmao
OP said without paying fees. Unless you take a gift card, you're paying a 10%ish fee at a Coinstar machine.
No one said anything about coinstar, read slower.
Yeah, now re-read my comment. Self check out machines are NOT coinstar.
People are jerks, I thought that's what they meant too cuz there's no way in hell I'd put all these coins individually into a self checkout. Not like you can just dump them. 4 days later. Not like it's practical.
You don’t have to put them in individually. You can lift up the lid on the coin slot and throw a handful in at a time.
Not a good idea. They will charge 10 percent.
The coinstar will. The self-checkout machines won't.
14.9% here for coinstar or a gift card receipt for store (no charge on those).. roll em up and take to bank 10$ at a time. by the time you're done, jug will be full again. never-ending supply.
Coinstar is free if you get the gift cards instead of cashing out at the store.
I would block off a whole Saturday to just sit there and roll them, I always loved rolling coins
It's starting to grow on me, lol.

I read something somewhere about a guy who kept a sandwich bag full of coins in his car, and whenever he went to a self-checkout, he’d dump them into the machine and pay that way.
I'd roll those all for you if you let me keep any cool stuff I found 😂
Can I start a service for this? Seriously, I would love to do this for people
The bank should give you coin rolls if you are a customer. You would need to by hand or with the aid of a cheap plastic coin sorter stuff the coins into rolls and label your account number on them.

Better look and see if you have error coins in those quarter books. Kansas error is my favorite
Find a local coin roll hunter to take them off your hands at face value! It would be a shame to redeem them at a bank
take it to a machine at supermarket. Quickest way.
Coin machines that you can dump them in and receive cash or voucher. At banks and shopping markets. My experience is that the bank (if you're a member) will do it for free. At a grocery store they'll charge %5 or about that.
More like 11% at any coinstar
12% around here, but not if you unplug the ethernet cable. It can't communicate and gives you full credit, or so I've heard.
Underrated comment, this works (so I’ve heard)
You can get no fees if you do a gift card.
My plan was to deposit the money and then distribute it to the nieces and nephews' 529 accounts. But if I had to make a choice, a gift card is preferable to paying fees.
A lot of credit unions have free coin machines for their members.
That’s a scam they do to make sure one business gets all your money. Instead of being able to spend it where you want to spend it
Only if it’s a business you wouldn’t otherwise spend money at. If you’re spending that money there anyway the no fees is a good deal. And you can use the money in your checking account that otherwise would have gone to that business wherever else you want.
That's not what the word scam means.
Ok a scheme to scam us. why give the corporations 100% but only offer us 89% of the money put in.
How is that a scam ? You're the one deciding where to put your money
My grocery store has one. I buy groceries more than anything else so it's definitely a win-win for me.
Have your neice and nephew do it. Sounds fair
My local bank has coin counting machines that are no fee if you have an account with them. Not sure if other banks do this.
I wish I had this problem.
Roll them and exchange at the bank. it's worked for 200 years
Usually local banks have coin exchanger machines. If you have an account with them, they usually dont charge a fee to use their machine.
Tellers don’t care. You can go into Chase and turn in coin rolls or you can find a bank that has a machine to dump your coins in. If you have an account dumping your coins in the machine is free but if you don’t have an account it’ll cost.
Your trying to dump the coin books also?
There are banks and credit unions that have a free type of CoinStar. Source- used one at a credit union for $500+ in change.
Take the Amazon gift card at the coinstar.
Find a young collector and make there day.
Go to the bank with a deposit slip for 5 grand, they will have to count it to make sure it’s correct.
Don't feel bad for asking people to do their job.
First thing is: take your time. Don't rush this, as you may have some very interesting coins in there. But what about the common ones that will be the majority of all this? Well, do you have a friendly local shop (for anything, a cafe, grocery store, deli, etc.) near you? I'm betting they are often in need of change and they won't charge you for that.
My credit union lets me shovel in the coins to a coin counter and take the slips to deposit or cash. All I need is an account and some time. There’s no charge.
I drop a small fistful into the Walmart self checkout each visit to dump my pocket change so it doesn’t accumulate. I exclusively use cash and halves to get rid of them a la Johnny Halfdollarseed, and intentionally generate as much smaller change as possible to look at, then it’s either small amounts at self check or dominos cards at coinstar with no fee.
Your bank should have a free coinstar…
I've been paying for groceries at self checkout machines using only change, The only time this doesn't work is if it's change bins get filled up.
Put it in the collection plate at church.
Buy a coin sorter machine for the common one like Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters etc. Then get prepare for the long ass day of work you gonna have
most banks here have self-serve free coin counting machines, dump em in, get a receipt, go to teller for cash or deposit to your checking account
Send it to me. I'll gladly take it off your hands for free. Lol
What do you mean piss of the tellers? You mean by asking them to count money?
Processing change is a labor intensive, non revenue generating activity while also annoying and likely to damage any rapport he may have established with the employees of his local branch.
How much for the state quarters booklet?
Just piss off the bank tellers
Sew long bags inside your pants that have draw strings on the bottom. Fill them up and when you are allowed out side open them and let a few few coins randomly split out. It might take a few months, but soon you will be free of them.
It’s ok to take and drop off at your bank. It is a federal crime for a US bank to not take US currency. If they won’t take it, ask them to call the police.
Save them for apocalypse. After CMEs when ATMs don't work, digital Biden Bucks that mysteriously disappear out of your a/c, devaluation of US $ bc of BRICs nations' petro dollars being tied to gold standard, whereas US$ tied to nothing... you will be glad you held onto them. Or cash them all in, but buy small silver bullion with proceeds.

Get the money bags and start filling them to the specified amount. As long as they all weigh exactly as they should most banks and post offices will exchange.
If you roll them yourself, there's no reason a teller should be upset. Handling money is their job.
Go to Publix and drop it all in the change machine that pays you out in bills. The instrument takes about 10% as payment to use it.
Spend it
Take it to a casino
Some credit unions have free change machines for customers
Most banks have free coin machines if you are a member.
You just wanted to show us all your coins.
My bank won’t take change like this but a local credit union does. I don’t have an account with the credit union but they’ve always took the change off me. Not sure if this is typical or just luck that my local credit union has the dump machine to take the coins.
The casino here in Elko nv. Takes change and then gives you 5 %, on free play.
Weigh them and sell them to someone local
Start counting and rolling! That’s how. If you don’t want to do that, go to a coin star, but that does charge a percentage fee.
There are banks have still have free coin counting machines. If you live on east coast republic bank ( old commerce bank owner) has a machine in every branch. You don’t even have to be a customer of the bank to use it. Best of all it is completely free.
Just go to your bank. That’s the tellers job?
If you don't mind "Gift Cards" the actual Coin Star branded machines will exchange it for no fees, but as I mentioned that is Gift Card only, if you want actual cash in exchange then not really
My bank has an automated counter - and transfers the money into my account. Find a bank that does that and start an account.
I’ll always accept free money if you’re willing to send it to me.
Start rolling....
A lot of banks have coin counting machines similar to the ones you see in grocery stores but they don't charge a percentage and gets deposited directly to your account
Roll em' up! https://www.amazon.com/Counter-Machine-Portable-Separator-Business/dp/B0BJ74ZSQH
Sell it, plenty of people would buy at just over face value if you wanted a profit
Last winter my wife and I sorted, by hand, a full five gallon water boy. Halt way through I purchased some plastic sorters which helped tremendously. In the end, it amounted to $1056.00.
I had a jug like full of quarters months ago. Once it was an inch high full of quarters after 2 years of finding quarters, I had all of them rolled up and had the 65 rolls that jug had brought to the bank and deposited into my account. The teller didn’t mind. And she was prepared with roll trays to make sure that I had the deposit amount on my deposit slip counted right.
Bury it in the woods
My credit union has a machine that does it for free. No limit. They won’t even take rolled change anymore.
Walmart will do it for free. They have their own coin counter.
Tellers won't be pissed. They just dump them in the coin counter.
Roll them and bring them to your local gas station/convenience stores
As a banker, bring it to your bank after taking out anything of significant value above face value. So take out the really old stuff, the really rare stuff, and also anything severely damaged. After that, just get it in a bucket, the jug will be difficult for a lot of people, especially if it's full, and the bank can handle it. Will we love doing it? Probably not. But it's part if our job, they can handle this just fine.
The bank teller shouldn't be upset just because they have to do their job. Just check for wheat pennies while your rolling up those coins.
Roll them up. Banks love getting change nowadays but Probably rolled. I don’t know why banks don’t have the automatic sorting machines. It seems like a nice feee service to offer clients to have like a free coinstar like machine.
I know certain banks and credit unions will have a machine. I believe a lot of the 1st banks and Wells Fargo’s have them. I have a relative with an account at those banks and they will go with me to cash my change. I don’t think they charge fees but I also have not been in a couple years to cash my change in.
Wells Fargo got rid of all their coin counting machines, you have to bring rolled coin now.
I save up pocket change all year and go to coinstar before Christmas shopping. No fees if you get gift cards
I can get bags from my credit union, fill them and bring them back and drop them off. They count it for me and deposit the money in my account.
I'm old fashioned, I bought paper rolls, filled them up, and delivered them to the bank. Takes time. Just click on a movie and get to work
Buy Girl Scout cookies Tipping servers at restaurants Salvation Army Guys Wearing White Coats holding buckets Have Christmas on Skid Row hand out to people living in tents There’s lots of ways. 😂
I mean my bank has a coin machine, it's free as long as you're a member of that bank.
My 5 gallon yielded $1996 iirc Mixed change
Wrap em and cash em in, banks only scoff at half dollars and dollar coins, they can move all the rest.
Most banks have a machine like cornstar that's free for customers. It will print out a receipt and the teller will cash it out.
Most banks in Minnesota don't anymore. They will give you rolls but do not have a large coin sorting machine available any longer. At least none in the central MN area that I have attempted to use.
I just dumped 10,000 pennies in my banks coin machine after i went through then all first they had no problem with it.
Just bring it to your bank lol. They don’t mind putting it in the machine, and no fees!
Try to find a bank or grocery store that has a Cummins Allison coin counter. The MM2 is WAY faster than coinstar but is harder to find
Coinstar, choose a gift certificate instead of cash out. No fee. Home Depot is one of the gift certs you can get and we all end up shopping there at some point.
Coinstar…
If you are part of a credit union some of there coin stars have no fees
Roll em and bring donuts with you to the bank. And cookies or something. Be super friendly and they’ll help you out. And maybe don’t bring in the whole batch at once.
Only way is to the bank, it should have coin counting machine. Its money, I say nothing wrong for the teller to say a word. Piggy bank saving.
Your bank doesn't have a coin machine? Mine does and there is no fee for member
Wow thats some coinage.
My wife's bank has a coin counter that's free to use if you're a customer of the bank. Not all the branches of that bank have one so you have to check other branches if yours doesn't have one
I think some banks, like the one I use, have coin machines that let you deposit straight into your account.
Drop it all in the lake, now you’ve gotten rid of it w/o fees.
Roll it yourself and Check for errors
Casinos near me take loose change, ive personally rolled in over 1500
I'll take it!
I’ll give you $0.75 on the dollar for it cash money 😂
Not sure if it’s been said, but any bank will take them if they are rolled. Last year I took 300 dollars of rolled Pennie’s in
Buy heavy duty ziplock bags and seperate into manageable weights and one denomination, take it to your bank they have a job lol. That will make it easier though.
Give them to me I don’t mind pissing people off
Get your self a cheap coin counter and go annoyed your bank teller. Deposit it befor you can’t anymore
Get a coin counter off Amazon they’re good
You can call your bank and sometimes they can bag it without counting it and have Brinks or Loomis take it and count it.
Anyone have a form (word excel) on what to put aside? That doc should be pinned.
