I'm fortunate that my bank has a coin counting machine that is complimentary to use if you are one of their customers. What I usually do is dump a bunch of my searched nickels into the machine, cash in money, then go to a different branch, or a different institution altogether and get a few more rolls. I try to hunt over a wide area so as not to deplete the fishing stocks, so to speak.

Thanks for the info that Coin Star has no charge if you take payment in gift cards. I can live with that if they have cards for places I frequent.

I dump mine at a coin counter of my local bank and the most I ever dump is 1 box each of nickels, dimes, and pennies. Not once has it ever filled up and required someone to mess with it.

I just did a dump on Friday and it was around 72 dollars in pennies and 98 dollars in nickels. I did it at a customer operated coin counting machine in the bank and it didn't need to be changed... At least not while I was dumping, but who knows what happened with the next guy to put some change in lol

Find a bank with a coin counter machine. They're usually more efficient than coinstar and don't have a charge if you have an account with the bank. At that point, you can dump coins until the machine overflows, and I've almost had that happen to me!  |

The most I dumped is when I decided to take back the copper cents I had been hoarding. Almost 30 000. Took the better part of an hour to feed them into the machine.

I have a great bank they have a coin machine in the lobby and a larger one in the vault area in the bank. They have asked me to take mine to the counter when I have a large amount. I have turned in 3600 in coins at one time but usually it is 1000 to 1600 in coins. After I cash my coins in I always put money in my savings (at least half of the amount or more). I always thank the tellers at the bank and always ask them if they have any junk they want to get rid of (referring to coins that they must count...halves, dollars, 2 dollar bills etc.)they always seem happy to get rid of it. I don't make it a habit and only do that maybe 2 to 3 times a year. I'm very happy with this bank!

It does not matter how many coins you dump at once. I don't dump more than a few hundred dollars at once. I will dump more if it is a larger denomination like quarters or halves. I do it as a courtesy to the tellers though so they do not have to roll the boxes around in their office chairs! :)

This all reminds me of way back when...When I worked at McDonalds.
I was sent on a change run. They asked me if I wanted help for security reasons.
My responce was if somebody was big enough to grab 2k in change and run...I wasn't gonna chase them.
If I only could have searched those rolls back then

To whoever dumped $800 in pennies, you ruined the tellers' day. I work at a bank and am the one who has to switch the bags. I don't mind doing it. Heck if the person said "Oh these are from CRH" I would just talk about finds and collections. A woman asked for help using our machine one time and I saw an old looking nickel and picked it up. She asked me what was special about it and I said I needed it for her collection and that I'd grab a nickel to switch it out with if she gave me a second. And she said I could just keep it! 1945P in real nice condition. Wish I could have searched all her coins.

I usually dump 3 or 4 boxes at a time ... For a large branch it is just less for them to order each week.

With all respects to all people here at CCF.
I do Eisenhower coins ... and I always find a way to not return to any bank.
Having said that ... pennies are in a field of their own
