I had an account of with WaMu - Washington Mutual - in a big Metropolitan area; and here's my method of disposing my searched coins:
Ask your bank for a few "coin bags" - plastic bag that you can just dump your coins into, label the bag with your account number (need to have an account with the bank) and the total amount. Carry the bag in, deposit it to your account, your account will get credit right away. They have coin counting machine at the main branch and they will do that latter. Do your count right when you put the coins into the bag and you don't have to worry. No limit on number of bags (1 denomination per bag, x amount of coin per bag capacity) - YES, I told them that I am a coin collector and I search coins to build albums/books.
THEN, go to the ATM or another branch and withdraw your cash.... woila..... no hand rolling/coin machine needed.
Ordering coins: BoA (Bank of America) has more business account, more cash/coins flow, so it's faster to receive the coins after you order them; WaMu is more like a consumer bank and take longer to receive the coins after you order them, since they have less cash/coins flow. I ordered fed boxs - rate of return/keeper coins are pretty much the same (low).
