One of my banks (Compass) will ONLY take loose coins.
BoA takes rolled, never tried loose. Not worth the hassle so I just throw money at the Coinstar machine every few months. |

I just save up my change and then dump it in a CoinStar machine at the supermarket.
My bank gave me the BS about rolled only. I don't know if thats BS or they, in fact by law, have to accept unrolled coins. |

My WF has a coin counter, they will take all you have. I guess it depends on the branch.

My CU has a coin counting machine. Drop it all in there, take the receipt to the teller and money in the account.
MUCH better than those Coinstar machines which take something like 7% from you. |

OP, it sounds like different tellers at your bank interpreting the policies differently.
There is a Coinstar machine in the same supermarket as my bank, and the bank will refund the Coinstar fee if I deposit the cash and bring them the receipt. Very handy for me. (US Bank) I will take a crown royal bag full of coins in there about every 6 months. It is usually around $120. |

My bank is too small to have a counter. They gladly take rolled coin. Overs and shorts wash out but there isn't any time for the bankers to count your fucking pile of coin.

Depending on which town I'm in I use 3 different branches on a regular basis. Two of them have machines that will count the change. I usually take a plastic dish of coins, they dump it in, and tell me how much is going into my account.
The 3rd one doesn't have a machine but they do have a scale. If you roll the coins they will weigh it, and if the weight is right they will deposit that much into your account (or give you cash). |

My old bank would only take loose coins and dump them in their counting maching. If you gave them rolls, they would crack them open and dump them into the machine as well.
Now, with USAA - and very few brick and mortar locations - I just use coinstar and take the small hit. |

I bank with Chase and am not sure. I've never brought loose coins in. However, I have two friends that work at Wells Fargo and both of their locations have coin counters. One of their locations is a very high volume location, the other is extremely low volume. Based on that, and a few other things I've heard from other folks that bank at Wells, if Chase ever rubs me wrong that's where I'm headed.

I bank at PNC. They pissed me off a few years ago. Told me they only accepted rolled coins. So I went home, spent a few hours rolling my coins. Went in the next day and they FUCKING BROKE OPEN EVERY ROLL and dumped them into their coin counter, to "verify." Bastards.
I was so pissed. |

Quoted: Several months ago, I asked one of the tellers at my bank (Wells Fargo) if they accepted loose coins for deposit. She said that they did. So today I brought in my coins, and I was told that they would accept them only if they were rolled - unless I had a merchant account. I'm not about to spend a few hours rolling up coins so that my bank will take them. Banks that I have dealt with previously had no problem dumping them into the coin counter and depositing the amount to my account. I have had absolutely no problems with Wells Fargo until now, but I'm a bit miffed that they won't take my money. I can't help but think that if they placed a high priority on pleasing their customers, they could find a way to put my money in my account without me having to roll it all up for them. Does your bank manage to find a way to accept your loose coins? If so, who do you bank with? Thats retarded, and sounds like you were talking to a lazy teller. If you've got enough quarters, you could short every roll 2 or 3, and make free beer money for the weekend! |

Just wait, they will figure out they can make money off of it. My CU went from accepting loose change, to requiring it be rolled. Then they decided THEY had to roll it. So they got a coin machine. All this was free. Now the last time I took in a pile of coins, they decided somewhere along the line they should charge for this "service." Btw, they still require change to be rolled, and they still require that they do it. |

The last time I went to my branch, they were still Chevy Chase Bank and they had a coin sorter/counter in the lobby. You'd put your loose coins in and it would give a receipt that you then took to one of the line tellers then they'd credit one of your accounts with what was on the receipt. I don't know if that's changed or not since they've since been bought out by Capital One. I do have a coffee can full of loose coin. Time to take it in I guess.

Our Walmart recently remodeled and their self-checkout lines now have a dish you can pour coins into instead of feeding them 1 by 1 into a slot. It isn't as fast as coinstar, but pretty handy.

I try not to dump too many on them all at once. Nothing sucks as a teller more than having to deal with a couple hundred dollars worth of pennies. Having walked many miles in their shoes I tend to be sympathetic. If I'm hoarding change to buy ammo, which I do, then I'll sell my coin a few times through the year and just toss the cash into the jar. It's really not that difficult. I let my kids count the change so they can learn about money. Rolling coin is about as easy as anything could ever be.

I use Coinstar. But, I am an Amazon.com junkie and spend the money there anyway so it's not a big deal to get a gift card code. (Note, the coin star receipt printers SUCK. DO NOT leave the thing in your wallet for a week, the ink will be rubbed off and the code gone.)
You could always go to the grocery store on welfare check days and stop up one of the automatic checkout lines stuffing coins in the machine, sort of payback to the WF goblins. Sorta depends on how much in coins you have. One of those mini coffee cans half full of coins is about $80. A large coffee can full will net you $450. I can stuff $20 worth of coins in a machine pretty fast so if it's just the handful from the console in my car I just spend it at the grocery store. My credit union takes coins at their main branch only, and only as a deposit to an account holder. It's not worth the drive for me.
