Where to get coin rolls, other than banks?

[Electrode]

I think the title says it all. I need a bunch of penny rolls, but all the financial institutions are closed for the day and I don't really feel like waiting until tomorrow morning to start rolling these coins I spent the last hour counting.

So, where might one go to get coin rolls in the middle of the night?

Why roll them? Doesn't your bank have one of those coin sorting machines that you just dump your change into? It counts the coins, and spits out a receipt that you take to the teller, and they give you paper money back.

Nope.

instead of rolling them, I would take them to your bank. My bank will just throw them into the coin counter and give me the cash

Carry your coins to a coinstar machine and put the coins in and get good
old paper money out just like in the commerical......

And pay the rediculous fee? No damn way.

If you're lucky, there is a Coinstar near you. IMO rolling $15.00 worth of pennies sounds like a colossal waste of time.

Huh? It will take you a minimum of 45 minutes to an hour to roll these, and Coinstar will charge you something like $0.75 for the same benefit. Isn't your time and sanity worth anything to you? The rolls alone will cost more than that.

How much are the fees?

It's something between 5-10%. I'd gladly pay that rather than sit around rolling 1,500 pennies.

Considering that I have absolutely nothing to do all night, I'd rather spend that hour rolling pennies than staring blankly at a wall.

Coinstar's patented self-service kiosk is easy and fun to use. Just pour in your jar of mixed coins and watch them add up. The Coinstar Center accurately counts up to 600 coins per minute, saving you the time and effort of sorting, rolling and taking them to the bank. When you cash in, you'll get a voucher to redeem for cash at the store checkout or apply to your purchases. Check your voucher for special promotions or sweepstakes that Coinstar may be offering. In the U.S., the fee for our coin counting service is 8.9 cents per dollar counted (9.8 cents Canada).

So it looks like 8.9%......and if you have a bunch of pennies you are going to have to
be willing to work pretty cheap by the hour if you are going to make that big savings
in expense.

Why stare blankly at a wall when you can neff on ATOT?
