Which bank, if you don't mind me asking?

I've personally found that paying 7%-9% to be able to dump coffee cans full of change into a large public hopper, is well worth it compared to the time and labor of counting out change and then stuffing them into coin sleeves. Then again, I haven't heard of a bank that will accept a lot of loose change and then run it through their own change counters for free.

Banks nowadays won't let you bring the change in rolled. They prefer it loose.

I think the Coinstar machines will allow you to set up a special account with Amazon and give you 100 percent credit that can be used on Amazon.com. But, apparently, it won't give you credit on your regular Amazon account.

Please provide the name of a bank that will accept loose coins without charging a fee.

I don't have a bank in Fla yet, but maybe a local credit union would be the only place that would do it. Any of the big or commercial banks will charge, even if you have an account with them.

Citizens first accepts rolled coins, at least have twice last year, i ask for wrappers, sit in front of the TV and me and my wife wrap coins, did about $250 worth last year. When I was with T&D bank they had coin counting machines right in the bank, put the coins in get a receipt and take to the teller. Unfortunately the closest T&D bank was around 45 minutes away (have not checked recently).

It’s been a lot of years since I had a change jar, sometimes I miss it, but I use my credit card for everything but tips and get back between $1,500 and$. 2,000 a year bill gets paid automatically through my credit Union along with every other bill in full every month much better then loosing 7% to 9% of change and never worry about bill being late

Just what we needed..... another expert who doesn't know what they are posting about. I bring rolled coins to Citizens First. It would be nice if this site worried about accuracy just a little bit.

A ‘maybe’ from someone who still works for a national bank.

Default Spare Change

If you are a member of VyStar Credit Union:

Walk into any VyStar branch with your spare change, run it through their coin counting machine, and receive cash or deposit it into your VyStar account.
