Just curious, why do you want so many pennies? Wouldn't it take a lifetime to hunt through all of those and then roll them back up again...? Report this Post to the Staff
hopping_rabbit Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 01:46 am I often wonder what the Coinstar people do with all their coins? I have been tempted to phone them or try to catch the guy who empties the machines in my area and put a bug in his/her ear...... Report this Post to the Staff

He ownes the right to take a percentage upon redemtion,takes silver out and I believe nickel too. He then rolls all rolls in a machine and distributes the orders to stores,buisness and banks. They do not remove the copper I believe. Report this Post to the Staff

If you need them all at one you can place a special order with your bank but they will most likely charge you a fee and you would have the problem of transporting them. If you have time, just drive around and pick up a few boxes here and there. Banks usually won't charge consumers for change unless it's an excessive request. Report this Post to the Staff
