I called a few banks and some of them told me they used to have machines that took no percentage on change. But no longer....

someplace with a rolling machine (such things must exist) would probably do it, or even coinstar themselves

I don't understand all this rolling talk. I went to the my bank to cash in some coins, and the few that were in rolls they told me to unroll and dump into the bins that I had brought in (also full of coins).

Sounds like a pretty high-level negotiation.

The have the change conversion market cornered!

There must have been a hostile takeover by the coinstar people in the last few months and that's why there's no "rake free" machines around anymore. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

20%!!

I kill them before I give 20 friggin percent!! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

And I kill whole world before I roll 53 pounds of change!

I don't understand, why do you need to count them? If you take them to your bank and say you'd like to deposit them into your account, the teller is going to have to count them anyway so won't they just do it for you?

53 pounds of change the teller will count? It would take hours. I'll ask, but I doubt they'll do it.
