Anyone aware of banks that still have coin counters?

I’m trying to get back into CRH game but it would appear my former dump spot (TD Bank) has removed all their coin counters. Is anyone aware of any banks (particularly in the Hartford/Springfield area) that still have coin counters? Appreciate any help.

Have you checked credit unions in your area?

I don't know if they operate in your neck of the woods, but many BB&T branches seem to have them. About half seem to in PA.

 

I’m currently in the process of calling all my local banks and checking. I’ll try CU’s too. Thanks for the tip.

Closest one is about 95 miles away sadly. Thanks for the help anyway.

 

Call me crazy, but the fact that folks openly search out so-called "dump banks" is maybe, just maybe, contributing to your problem?

Anyway, I'm guessing you would be better served by going to or calling those near you than by asking the board. Perhaps someone is familiar, and is willing to share, but posting such info online may not be in their best interests. Good luck either way!

 

How odd; I've been banking with BB&T since we moved to North Carolina, and I've never seen one in a bank (BB&T or any other). I know BB&T bought out some bank prevalent around my parents' home in Maryland; I wonder if they bought out a PA bank that already had the machines installed?

 

State Employee Credit Unions or other credit Unions have Coinstar machines or their own on site. Check out Fifth Third Bank. They also have coin counting machines. At one time they let me buy the bags but they no longer allow you to do that.The only BBT I ever remember having a coin machine is in Charleston, SC

 

My bank removed theirs, so I have to roll everything up. Not as hard or time consuming as you would think. I keep a bag of rejected coins and when I find a coin I want to keep, I replace it with one from my reject bag, and re roll. Rinse and repeat for the entire box. The bank supplies wrappers or I can buy a box of 1000 at an office supply store.

 

They did - Susquehanna Bank.

 

Ah! That's the one they took over in my parents' hometown, too. Of course, I don't remember what they were before Susquehanna bought them.

When I was a kid, I don't think there was this kind of churn in the banking industry...

 

Let me assure you, there wasn't. It's almost a sport these days.

 

Coin counters have vanished where I live and safe deposit boxes are an endangered species. Neither, I suppose, adds to the bottom line.

 

I have coin counters in my Credit Union (several branches) and a couple of the other Credit Unions I've looked in to. Interestingly enough, my branch was complaining about the machine breaking down all the time so they switched it out for a CoinStar. The same rates still apply as with the other machine, but they felt this machine was more durable.
