Most places just have them rolled or get them delivered. (probably from coin star outlets)

I'm pretty sure I've heard people on here talk about getting them in bags at their bank. I could be mistaken though.

The bags I get from my bank are $50 bags and I've gotten quite a bit of copper out of them and also some really clean, shiny ones from the 50's and 60's. Always fun to go through them, kinda like Christmas.

Yes, I bet. When you get them from the bank, you have a chance to get some crazy off-centers that you'd never get from a roll.

Sweet-talking the tellers goes a looong way. I too have found a bank (finally) that will take in the coins, count them and mail a receipt of deposit all without any charges. They treat it like a customer service, businesses bring in their coin as well as customer's their jars. The only thing they won't do is let me buy the collected bags, even if I wouldn't protest a short count bag, darn! They got "rules"!

I bring an assortment of donuts to the bank once in a while. They are especially happy to see me when I walk through the door carrying a box.

After 2000 they started the pallet bags and then get sent to the wrapping centers. (they are told to return error coins) The error coins are still being found though.

The video said the bags weigh 2,000lbs. I can imagine the number of coins damaged if one of those bags gets a good jostle.
