Yeah, and if the bank is not charging you to count your change, they are hitting you with fees somewhere else. There is absolutely no escaping it, short of not using a bank for anything.
Credit Unions I think are the only decent places left............. I should join mine.

Although my other bank is good when I call to bitch about fees - they reverse them with very little effort. :thumb:

I keep an old blown glass moonshine jug that has a hole at the top that will only fit dimes. I'm about 1/4 full at this point with just dimes. :)

My other changes goes into various places - drink holders in the car, or my ceramic bowl on my desk where the keys and purse and mp3 player get dumped when I come in at night.

i love rolling change. i borrow my dads cheapo plastic change sorter thing once every 6 months to a year. i always rack up. lately my earnings havent been as substantial. found out it was because somebody was stealing quarters for the vending machines at work.

My credit union would not even accept a jar of change I had! I could not believe it I was like I can't deposit US funds into my account?! The response was we do not a have coin counting machine.
