Most banks don&#039;t have coin counters anymore, and will only take coins from account holders. To add to the silliness, last time I went into BofA with rolled coins, they broke them all open and bagged them to be sent off elsewhere for counting, and of course they always short you a bit. I couldn&#039;t believe this, I thought rolled coins were preferred. I know, BofA. I&#039;ll change banks someday.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m currently sitting on 50lb+ of change that needs to be turned in. I&#039;m going to call them first to make sure they even still accept coins before lugging it in. I&#039;ve heard some stories of banks not even accepting coin deposits anymore and telling people to just hit a CoinStar (the nerve!) but I&#039;ll ask before I assume the worst.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure many people (myself included) refuse CoinStar due to either having to pay a ridiculous fee, or opt for one of a handful of gift cards that you don&#039;t really want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tons (literally) of change could be brought back into circulation if it was treated by banks and coin services like cash instead of garbage.
