I have close to a thirty pound bag of coins and ten percent of that is a great chunk of change. I'm not going to sit and count it all and roll it. (It'd take days!) for a bank (or any establishment, at that) to charge money for such a thing is a turn-off. They'd have more people, possibly more customers even, if they just stuck a coin-counter in the lobby for any and everyone to use. 411920 2011-01-19T22:03:29-08:00 Maddan Yup every bank including my x fav TD/Commerce bank now charge fees ...duhh..isn't it strange that the average joe american was forced to bail out the banks in the past and now they won't give us a break at the piggy bank//// I smell a revolution..."let them eat cake..remember what happened"...one more suckie how come its allright to get foreign coins when you buy(support) a country you visit but then noyone will touch those same coins...I wanna melt these coins down and beat somebody into Plowshares..ha ha ha 411850 2010-11-29T18:45:36-08:00 kara td bank just started to charge non-customers for their coin counting as well. 6%. anyone know of ANY bank or place in southern NJ that will coin count for free? 411910 2010-06-04T17:39:00-07:00 Jack Since the US Mint thru the Fed Res banks CHARGE customers (banks) for coins. Banks in turn CHARGE a fee to their customers (merchants/businesses) for coins. So just counting coins and putting the paper sleeves in machines, should save a bank a bundle and offer their customers an incentive to do business there. CoinStar charges nearly 9% to count your money. Some have the GALL to put an expiration date on receipts issued from the machines. CoinStar gets to keep the windfall for those who fail to redeem the receipt in time. Money doesn't have an expiration date! Most of the time the receipts must be redeemed at register which means standing in a long line, My old bank, Amboy National Bank, in central NJ, offered free counting service for customers. Was very convenient to get rid of pennies, and casino winnings! Why are bank so dumb on their customer desires? Coin counters aren't that expensive and will payoff in the long run in addition to customer good will...! Should I bring in pennies to my bank teller to count to deposit to my account? 411900 2010-06-02T14:41:43-07:00 dave if anyone does know of a place in vegas that takes pennys and dimes i would like to hear about it, thank you. dave. 411890 2010-06-02T14:39:41-07:00 dave im looking for a place to change alot of coin. the golden gate casino in downtown las vegas told me they will take quarters and nickels but not pennys or dimes. 411880 2010-03-31T20:11:41-07:00 Ken I understand casinos in Las Vegas have free coin countring services. Do not know about banking service locations. 411860 2010-02-08T21:25:15-08:00 Dave I haven't found a bank that won't charge any fee in Southern California! 5% - 10% seems to be the norm! This is discouraging kids from having a piggy bank. 411870 2009-12-13T13:55:03-08:00 James TD Bank did the trick for me. As a bonus, even though I live out in the middle of no where in rural New Hampshire, I was able to find a local bank open on Sunday to help me out. Such great service, over the next month or two, I'm going to move my local banking to TD Bank. 411840 2009-07-02T11:06:56-07:00 Rima Anyone know of a coinstar machine in Bellevue, Federal, Tacoma areas that don't charge a 10% fee?
