Just got back from HyVee

It is going to be a long time until next fall.

If you get a gift card with the coins then you don't get charged a fee (or it is less)

Last year when my parents started their house remodel they cashed in all the coins they had stashed up. Mind you, they've actually been putting coins in rolls for probably 20 years now. We kids had slowly raided this thing of all quarters (mainly for laundry at school). I think we had about 200 lbs of coins when we went to the bank. Grand total was about $700 I believe. We were nice enough to call the bank to see if they would mind us bringing it all in at once. They said to go for it.

I thought most banks made you roll your change if you wanted them to cash it for you. Is this still the case?

I remember hitting a coinstar at a Food Lion near Oak Island in 2003. I had a cashew jar that I'd been throwing change in over the course of a 4-month TDY. Came out to around 97.00.

I hate carrying around coins so I have a glass gallon jug that I throw all my coins in and when it gets full I take it to my bank to have it counted and deposited. No fee there for me. I then will usually have something I am saving it for to spend on. Last time I bought a new gas grill, paid for about half of it will all the coins I had saved.

Maybe. But I patronize Greater Iowa Credit Union and have never been turned down when I bring in a piggy bank (really) or jar or plastic bag of coins.

Perhaps it makes a difference if you want to actually deposit the money instead of taking it back out of the bank in fewer pieces.

Anyway, my plastic baggy was very heavy with the change and my wife said there was probably $30 in there. Turns out there was $114.92. I bought myself a candy bar on the way out to celebrate.
Anyone have any change stories?

Funny you should bring this up as yesterday I just took two big plastic money bags of change into my bank to redeem. Plastic bags that I got from the bank as they were out of cloth money bags . Weighed the bags on my digital scale....37 lbs of nothing but change, one large paper clip and one certs....$543.16 was collected over the last two yrs from loose pocket change at the end of the day.

Normally use this to help cover some of expenses to go to Big 12 Men's and Women's BB tourney, but couldn't go the last 2 yrs.

It's burning a hole in my pocket.:yes:

I went to high school with a girl (an only child) whose parents saved all of their change in one of those huge plastic water jugs from the day she was born. After her grad party from high school, she told me how ****** she was that her parents didn't get her anything. Apparently, her dad had tried to bring this jug full of coins to her but had thrown out his back in the process. Turns out there was over 1200 bones in that thing when she had taken it in

I just took in 11 dollars worth of coins yesterday. Your bank will do it for free.

I have a bowl that I normally throw all my change in to at the end of the day. Usually nets me somewhere in the $80 range. Glad I saw this thread, it's a reminder I should take it in to the bank.
