I checked, none of the local banks would do it without me rolling them first, and one that was a little ways away would only do it if I was a customer, and I'm not. I could really care less about $13, to me the whole thing is found money, it would've just sat otherwise :)


Funny, my bank doesn't want them rolled. They have to open the rolls and count it anyway to make sure you're not shorting each roll. They're fine if you bring it in a bucket, they just dump the bucket into their own sorting machine, it chugs away, counts it and seperates it by value.

1) I use CC whenever I can.

2) I'm not stupid so I actually TRY to use my coins if I can. There is a surplus in collection, but it needs no jar. It's thrown in my car in the little storage area below my tape deck...

That ain't nothing, my mom had so many coins it was close to like $700. Heck, we even broke the machine putting in all our change at the bank, yes a BSOD on the machine! I didn't grab a pic :(.
