What banks have you found to have coin counting machines and do they charge you to use them?

Try a local credit union. In my area I think (need to call around) one of the credit unions has one. The national banks like Suntrust, Bank of America, Wachovia (for now) all don't use them. If you are going to buy something from Amazon or few other websites you can use coinstar for free. Just get a gift certificate instead of the cash and you don't pay the 3 or 4% fee. I do this any time my wife wants to order books.

Union Bank of California has coin counters that are free to account holders. If you don't have an account there's about a 9% charge. I have UBOC accounts and use one branch exclusively to deposit my excess coin.

I have accounts in 5 different banks. ALL have stopped taking in bulk coins. At bank of America an officer told me that if any branches still have coin machines, when they break down, they will not be replaced. TFC said basically the same thing. Most banks in my area near or in Chicago say the same. If you have an account, have a large quantity of coins and want to deposit into your account, Bank of America told me they will accept the coins, place them in a bag, send out for counting, then deposit the total in my account. This could take up to 2 weeks and a small charge. Charge is yet to be determined pending the amount and type of coins. I suspect all banks will soon be doing something similar. Many stores now have coin counting machines and Jewel Food Stores machines charge 10% at the ones near me.

The local credit union got a machine in the lobby to use, as opposed to the one tellers use behind closed doors, and I 'broke' it the first time, but ever since then, it's been working well *knocks on wood*. It's my favorite toy at the bank.
