Rolling my own ...

Please. Those DIY machines don't cost too much at Big#Mart, end up paying for themselves and are much easier to deal with than those things. Just take a handful of coins, put 'em in the top and let the sorter put the coin in tube wrappers.

 

I always count and roll my own. I like it, although the pennies suck.

 

Commerce Bank (Now TDNorth) has a free coin counting machine.
Dump it all in, get a receipt for the full amount, take it to the teller, get cash.

And you don't need an account there to use it.

 

As somebody who has never rolled coins, what's to stop you from shorting the roll a coin or two? Does the bank weigh it or something?

 

F_B, if it helps, my dad filled a giant wine keg with coins once. If I am remembering right, I think the jar was 10 or 12 gallons, and the take was about $3,000.

 

I was teller when I was a youngster, right before and right after college.
The branch at which I worked did not have a coin machine. We excepted rolled coins from customers, but the customer's account number had to be on every roll.
The teller opens a roll from a customer and it's short, he/she takes the difference from the customer's account.

 

Yep, account number on roll...I always check to make sure they lengths match when I'm done... you know, that all the quarter ones match and so forth.. I take great delight in sticking Canadian money in them.

 

I would still prefer to physically possess the quarters, rather than put them in the bank, which I could easily do — well, not that easily, considering I have gallons of them.

I will have pictures up soon and, thanks to Ryan Sonner's idea, the contest will commence.

 

Why would you want hundreds or thousands of dollars in rolled quarters?

 

Let the guessing begin:





I will report back the amount in each container.

 

Just quarters in there?
