Returning Rolls Of Coins To The Bank

There is a supply bank (where you buy rolls) and a separate dump bank (where you dump rolls). Rule number one is never dump at your supply bank. That is so you can avoid getting your searched coins back. I'm in the same boat as you -- no free coin counting machines, so I re-roll everything. I don't work with pennies, but when I dump hundreds of dollars of halves, I am making a deposit only and never ask for cash back. Cash can always be gotten at the ATM.

Aquiring and returning coinage to a bank is becoming a problem with the banking world. Many banks around me have started new policies due to people doing this constantly. For one, Bank of America has started to remove any coin counting machines if they break down. New policy is if you bring in large amounts of coins, they must be shipped out for counting and the results are entered into your account. Naturally there is now a charge for this service and if no account, the charge goes up and you must return to that bank for the results when they get that info. Bank of America around me will no longer order coinage for anyone without an account and a buisness that requires coins. And that too now has a charge. None of the banks around me have, carry and will not order half dollars.
Many banks are getting leary of rolled coins also since there has been lately a fad to short each roll. That is to make a .49 cent roll instead of a .50 one. Same with Nickels, Dimes, etc. So those too must now be shipped out for opening and counting. This now requires an even larger charge for that service.
When a person does bring in odd coins such as half dollars they are also shipped out to either the Federal Researve or a main office and this too now has a charge.
People, with their constant taking of coins and returning them have created such situations in banks. People don't realize banks are organizations for the compliances and distributions of moneys and not a place for coin collectors. I don't mean to sound like I agree with banks for charging more and more for their services, but with the coin collecting boom going on, the banks services are being really pushed to the limits.
Due to all this I've gone to paying for many items with all change just to get rid of most of the coins I accumulate.

Thanks for the advice, everyone!
