I also wrap my own, usually when reruns are on.

Unfortunately TD has taken most if not all of their coin machines out. Claimed there were too many people saying they were inaccurate plus there were some mechanical problems. So now, as others have been saying, it's wrapped or nothing. I have a small craft business so I just keep mine in a bank at home and just replace what I give out in change at the shows. Or give it to my granddaughters for their banks.

No charge for Vystar members, but a 6 percent charge for non-members.

TD Bank was sued in a class action because the coin counting machines weren’t accurate. As a result, they removed the free machines.

I never used them for myself but a friend of mine who didn’t have a TD account always asked me to take her coins to the bank and get cash back. As a result, I was a class member.

I figured I might be able to retire early. I got a check for about fifty cents! But the lawyers got paid.

I will leave this task to my children. Sonething to keep them occupied at my wake.

Are you aware of any of these machines in The Villages, or surrounding area? Our Publix has a machine, but it doesn't have the feature and has a 10% fee. Thanks!

Looking for which Publix and Winn Dixies?

The Winn Dixie in Pinellas Plaza (and possibly others) has a Coinstar machine that offers gift cards, including Amazon for no charge. But, apparently, Publix has replaced their coin machines and eliminated the gift card option.

I thought I saw a sign by that machine that had something like a 7% charge for using it. Of course I could be confusing it with another machine and place. Do that a lot lately.

Back in TN, we were able to take bags of unwrapped change to Bank of America and they would send it through some magic internal process and deposit it into our bank account. The process took a month or so, but was fine because it worked.

I tried this with our local BoA, and they said they don't do this. I have to wrap all the change.

Does anyone know of a way to convert change that doesn't cost $0.07 on the dollar and doesn't require me to spend hours wrapping coins?

Thanks!

If, this is a regular problem for you there are many devices that makes this easy and quick.

Class action suits. The US has more attorneys per capita than any other industrialized nation. We also have more law suits. So many expressions for this
some not very polite. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Any class action suit. Typical you are told you pay nothing unless they collect. They do not take any case unless they KNOW they will collect. The only question is how much. The atty gets typically 30% plus expenses. A friend used to do photography for attys. Since the client was paying price charged did not matter. Far as plaintiffs, customers who sign up, the more the more profitable. The work? Most if not all is done by a clerk-a secretary.

Usually the machines have a couple of choices. If you want cash back, there is usually a fee of about 7%. But if you are ok with a gift card like Amazon or Starbucks or Home Depot, there is usually no fee!

How do you accumulate all coins? If I buy something with cash I always to enough change so I don’t get change back. That keeps excess to minimum. Course I get lot of rolling eyes, but it takes no longer than paying with credit card.

Mid America banks will count IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT.

Just take your change over and have them deposit it.
