Yeah Chase sucks. I didn't get as much as I thought I would, don't know if it shortchanged me or what, but I ended up with an Amazon GC for $82.64.

I am sure it cheated me. I guess I'll count them before I use them next time.

I roll mine up.. not that big of a deal. Take them to my chase bank and they give me cash. They don't even count it out they just trust that I counted it correctly I guess..

Yep, back in 1975. The modern bank and even credit union screws its customers. "Yes, that is a perfectly serviceable coin counter sitting back there behind our counter. No, we can't count your coins and deposit the money into your account. As the OP says you have to roll and label your coins because, well, screw you."

you must bank at shitty banks. last year i took in a bunch of loose coins to my bank and they counted it right there on the spot and it came out to just over 200 bucks. got a print out of how many of each coin as well.

No, but i see no reason to pay more than i think it is worth to convert them especially when copper will only go up in value? I mean, if you're going to spend all of the cash right away, you don't have room for them, and you don't mind paying the face fee, then you'll be fine. However, the govt banking complex that I'm sure you don't like just get to save it all and the system artificially drives up the cost of raw materials that way. I may be able to sell them to someone who makes copper products and they can melt them or separate them, but I'm going to wait until i think that the time is right.

you really are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

seriously how did you get this way? Did you eat lead paint chips as a kid or did you get dropped on your head a few dozen times as a baby? Or do you actually believe the crap you post because it cool and edgy?
