I have a ton of coins too but it annoys me to no end that banks won't run em through their sifter anymore without charging. And I hate rolling coins.
Yea, coins really suck, such a pain to use.
I end up just taking them to the stores with those machines and letting them take a cut.
Yea, it's not really worth it, especially on the smaller coins. I'll gladly pay them 7% or whatever it is to count my Pennies and nicels and dimes.
I think it is a bit ridiculous for a bank to charge you 9cents on the dollar for coins.
It is, but I don't think it's unreasonable.

That is pretty crap .... gotta love banks.
They had to buy the machine and pay someone to run it and buy the paper rolls.
They also hold all your money and make money off of your money lending it to other people from which you get a tiny fraction of a percent back in interest. And this was a service that until recently was free. The dumbest part of it all is if you roll your money they don't charge you but then break the rolls and poor it into the fricken machines.
