After several years of unwrapping, searching, and rewrapping cents, nickels, dimes, etc., I finally found a much simpler solution. The local credit union uses a counting machine that usually charges a 4% fee. Last year they began advertising that children who opened credit union accounts could use the coin counter with no fee. I opened an account for my 2-yr old. He legitimately enjoys helping me look for special coins. (I've also had an account with the credit union for nearly 20 yrs). I dump several thousand nickels at the four branches several times a week; no complaints from the tellers. You should have no problem dumping your halves.

I love that you use the security bags to directly deposit your coins. Sounds like it bypasses the local bank's coin machine and puts the responsibility on the servicer. I'll have to ask the various branches about trying this!!
