So I'm currently going through a box of pennies and just remembered that TD bank no longer has the coin counter. How do you cash your coins? Coinstar takes 10.9% of your cash unless you get a gift card which I'm not interested in. I could always roll the coins, but that takes a lot of time to count them out and then roll them. What do you do?

I use coinstar, mine only takes 7.9%. I usually just toss in all of the coins in my car as well, which usually covers the loss (i only use cash, so I get more change than a usual person).

I bring them to bank of America. They bag em and send them out. Takes a few days, but I get the money deposited in my account.

I use CoinStar for an Amazon gift code. There's no fee for that and the code goes right in my account when I get home (where it is promptly spent within a couple of days, most of the time). |

I also use the Amazon gift card option on CoinStar. I don't ever seem to have an abundance of money in gift cards and if you are only doing cents it won't add up too quickly. |

Coinstar Amazon gift card for me as well. This ends up being the cheapest option besides re-rolling them for the bank. |

The banks I use take them. One has a counter and the other bags and sends off to be counted.

I normally use my local credit unions coin machines. Sometimes I'll use coinstar for GameStop gift cards as I am also an avid video gamer too.

I use the Amazon gift card option. I just purchased some storage boxes for my PCGS slabs at a big discount. Also, I buy candy, music,auto parts,camping equipment, etc,... Like weeds19 I only hunt cents so it doesn't add up to a lot. |

For me, I was told my local bank does not accept rolled coins, only loose, because they will be instantly thrown into a sorter anyway. I'm sure each bank has their preferences. I've thought about Coinstar, but have never tried the gift card option. Now though, I could use an Amazon gift card.  Quote:
"I buy candy" From Amazon? Sorry, I thought it was a funny addition to the list. I've never searched for that, but maybe they have some great deals.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Go to a bank who wants your money. They won't charge you a penny whether you roll your coins or don't.
