You are right though, roll your owns are always cheaper just sounds like you need a different bank. my bank does not charge anything for customers to use the coin machine, even though it starts shaking when it sees me walk in with two buckets for my Christmas contest. Neither my bank or my credit union charges anything for that. It's frickin' money. Nor mine. If you have an account with the bank you should get to use their services for free DR.X and Jimbo749 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Seriously though, the machines are super convenient, but yeah, I'm too greedy to give that much away in fees. Ever since I was a little kid, my Dad has thrown his pocket change into a big tin, and given it to me at Christmas time. When I was a REALLY little kid, like, pre-allowance and stuff, I used that money to buy Xmas presents for the family. At any rate, my family is big on tradition, and even though I'm now 41, my Dad STILL gives me that same beaten old tin full of change every Christmas season. So I'll usually grab some wrappers and throw on some old tv show like Barney Miller or Andy Griffith, and just roll coins and reminisce about my childhood, and I'll use that money to get a little extra surprise for the whole family for X-Mas.

I also have to admit that I wouldn't cash those in without going through them (preferably as they're added to the jar rather than when it's full) to check for pre-1965 silver dimes or quarters (rarer and rarer with every passing year), or wheat pennies. I also save pre-1983 pennies because their copper content is worth more than face value, depending on the market value. Same for nickels, I believe, although it's much closer and I haven't checked it in a long time. Why give away two or three cents worth of copper for a penny, or seven cents worth of metal for five cents? Sure, you're not permitted to melt them down for their metal content yet but that will probably 'change' someday and then I'll cash in! It's just good cents!

Wipple Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Bought a new home and didn't feel that the coins needed to make the move. My credit union(NEFCU) has a $500 dollar a day limit but charges no fee. Im sure a few rare coins or pre 1964 silver fed into the machine, but my time is worth more than the hours of time I would have had to invest. BTW it added up to a lot less than I thought.

Senormac Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) This guy was a security/ info help guy at the San Diego Museum. He had been there for years and years. So long in fact that they commissioned a painting of him which hung in the museum ! Edited April 6, 2018 by Senormac porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
