Interesting... However, why doesn't he actually just spend the toonies? They are kind of a large denom. coin- worth $1.50. About the rest of his coins, it is obviously absurd that a banking institution would decline legal tender. "Grocery stores, they love coins." Well, they source their change from banks- not from consumers.
I'd absolutely, 100%, without a doubt withdraw all deposits and close my accounts at said bank. I'd also try to get a grassroots boycott going to hit the bank where it hurts most. Their deposits and bottom line.
It's like the bank branches here that are going "all-automated." No body seems to appreciate money anymore
I thought it was unusual that I have a US Bank branch that doesn't have mint rolled coins, still they deposit coins even if it's all pennies.
My bank exiled and obliterated its automatic change counter over a year ago. If I have change to count (which, sadly, I rarely do these days) I have to use my wife's bank. I took that as a potential sign that currency was no longer welcome there. Sigh.
