I don't mind rolling coins, I have a set of plastic tubes that when
filled to the line contain the right amount. Then I put a finger into
the bottom of the paper roll and pour the coins in, tuck the tube over
at both ends and I put a small piece of scotch tape at each end too.
Then I write my acct # on each and bring them to the bank... I have
1-2 rolls a month. I end up with change because mostly I pay with
cash. My rolls have never been short or over. I've never had a
teller count my coins in front of me. I've no idea what counting
system they use, I'll ask next time.
