<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thornton, post: 4145707, member: 105289&quot;]My pocket change gets a quick &quot;once over&quot; for anything interesting or that jumps out.&nbsp; Any silver or copper coins will end up under the loop for closer examination.&nbsp; Then quarters go in a small coin bank until its full and then transferred to a leather bag in the car for tolls, etc.&nbsp; All others go into a 5 gallon water bottle (presently 1/2 full).&nbsp; When it gets too heavy to move around easily, part gets dumped out and either rolled, or off to the local coin star machine.&nbsp; <i>Yes it eats at me to give away 12.5% for the machine to do the counting for me, but I get tired of rolling them and have successfully convinced myself that my time is more valuable then the fee.</i>&nbsp; The banks in my area are pushing back on accepting coins unless your a customer.&nbsp; One teller told me the branch was thinking of charging a rolling fee for loose change and they would no longer order boxes from the mint for customers.&nbsp; Seems so many folks were searching for &quot;W&quot; quarters from mint rolled boxes that the returned coins were taking up to much time using the banks machine.&nbsp; They are seeing it as an unexpected cost to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
