For at least a decade, I have collected my loose change at the end of
the day and put it in a plastic jar. I used to take the contents of the
jar about once a month to the no-fee coin counting machine at my
Capital-One bank. Now, the bank has discontinued its machines. I wonder
if any other banks have such machines and I am sufficiently displeased
to think of changing banks even if Capital-One's online banking is
fairly satisfactory.

Get the paper coin rolls for your bank. Fill the rolls and then take them to the bank.

Some banks don't even want them now or make you fill out your name,
address, account number on each roll.

I'd use the CoinStar that gives you all your money in the form of a
gift card.

Yep but in this area, you have no choice. Banks will no longer take them.

TD bank might be a good place to try.

I just dump them in the machine at the local supermarket
and there's no fee if you take the proceeds as a certificate
to spend at that store or amazon (or other stores) or donate
it to charity.

Thanks; TD Bank claims to have no-fee counting machines but they don't
have any branches as convenient for me as Capital-One. Still, I do get
out to their locations fairly frequently.

I don't mind rolling coins, in fact I enjoy handling money... only
thing I like to handle more than money are big breasts.

I've never seen a machine like that for public use at a grocery store!

I took a quick look at the Coinstar website and I see they are in
Safeway, Lucky, Grand Central Market and something called
Mollie Stone's. This is in the San Francisco area.

They're pretty common where I live and sounds like other people
here have them around, too. They're usually tucked in a corner.

If they really do have them, they must be hidden because I've never
seen them out in the open. Often someone concludes via internet that
an item I want is everywhere when the truth is they aren't. Sara Lee
English muffins is an excellent example. I finally found them at
Smart & Final.

They're at Raleys, Safeway, S-Mart, that I know of in my town CA. I use them
every three or four months. They do charge a fee, but I don't mind.

Yes, I've seen coin counting machines in a local Safeway but they charge
9 or 10% of the total. The bank machines were free.

That's why I choose the option of a gift certificate. The
fee is not paid by you.

If I get one for a place I shop anyway, what's the difference.

I feel like I see them at every supermarket I visit. Generally
in the vicinity of customer service, or out by the carts if there's
an indoor area for them. I've only used the one in my local
supermarket. It's tucked away between customer service and the
bathrooms.

The only time it wasn't working, it couldn't give me an amazon
gift card, so I got to cash it at the store for free. At the time
getting a store card wasn't available, so that was nice.

He's a LIAR. He's in Texas and Googles for his so-called information.
Has he called the stores to confirm? NO. I've been in those stores
and I know that if they have anything like that for public use, it is
not kept out in the open. Kiss my ass, Yappy.

You said they are near the doors. No, they are not. Machines for
gambling are near the doors. I don't gamble.

Or you can just pay with exact money/change, which is what I try to do.

TD Bank, US Bank, Commerce Bank,and others do. Some locations may not,
though.

The TD Bank on South Washington St. in Alexandria has one, if you ever
get down that far.

Some grocery stores do too.

Those few stores that don't have a fee only give you at best a voucher
to spend in the store. Still, Capital-One only had no fees for members.
Shady Grove is more convenient for me than Alexandria.

I purchased a change sorter at Amazon. It drops the coins into the
rolls as it sorts. At the end of the year I take the rolls to my bank
- Wells Fargo. They accept the rolls as is. I don't have to sign
for anything. Albertsons did use to have a coin counter. I never
used it because I didn't want to spend that much money there.

Those machines are becoming quite scarce. Even casinos in NV no
longer count coins for you. I have a bank that still has one (last
time I asked), but a few yrs ago I jes counted and wrapped 'em myself.
If you can't watch TV while counting coins, you've got bigger
problems. Anyway, a bank MUST take wrapped coins. They may require
you write a buncha info on each roll, but they are required by law to
take them. I usta get off with jes putting my bank acct number on
each roll.

Coinstar charges a percentage. I remember it was at least 10% when I
lived in CA. Seems I recall seeing the fee as high as 13%, recently.
That's too damn much. Count/roll 'em yerself and get it all!

Golly Yappy, these sound like life lessons learned the hard way!

I bet it's been tough since JSA stopped putting their ads on the back of
DC Comics, hasn't it?

If you're using a plastic jar you're a newbie coiner. I use a
*glass* five gallon water cooler jug... and many of the coins I
collected were silver. I never cashed in the silver coins, I still
have them, lots of indian head pennies too. Nowadays I see young
folks toss their change in the parking lot, I'm not too proud, I'll
bend to pick up a penny.

One of my clients told me that her dad was opening a bank and he would
appreciate our business, so we opened a couple of accounts at Woodforest
National Bank. They have machines that count coins and there is no
charge. It seems like they are everywhere, now, and they have 11
locations in Maryland, but I am not sure if one is near you.
