<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lev99, post: 4631262, member: 103627&quot;]Its policy of each bank. Keeping coin counting machines in operation is expensive for maintenance. People used to bring in bags of pocket change when cash was more common and it was full of pocket lint, hair, gum wrappers, paper clips, debris, etc. Jam up the machine. So to cut costs some banks would request rolled coins only and accept a roll by feel as +/- accurate. Others might charge a fee to use coin machine if I recall. Others may accept loose change but only in a clear plastic bag (to make sure no junk mixed in).</p><p><br /></p><p>I had one bank about 10 years where I took them $12 in rolls but they said they didn’t take rolls. They proceeded to rip apart about $12 in change (several dollars being in pennies) directly on the counter, and count them by hand, pennies at a time. Fortunately, my counting skills were good and they wasted 5 minutes realizing I brought them exactly what I said I did. I didn’t walk away with the same opinion of them as when I started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
