Holy crap that's garbage. I would have taken that bet too. About to invest in a professional coin rolling machine. I've made a few hundred dollars just having fun with it

Luckily my bank doesn't charge for taking change. My old bank used to so I switched. If a bank can't count change for free they don't deserve to profit off my balances.

Was funny watching the teller fumble over her words when I told her I wanted to close all my accounts, business and personal, when she told me there would be a fee for counting my change.

Even better was making her give me the money in cash so it would be instantly available when I deposited it in the new bank...which I hadn't even picked out yet. Went to 2 other banks which were all in walking distance and the second one got my business. Free everything even my business accounts so it worked out great.

Good for you man. That takes balls. I only bank with local banks so my options are very limited.

I switched to a local bank and dumped citibank. Was a little worried as they merged with another local, but larger, bank last year. So far happy with the new bank too.

Luckily I'm in a very populated area so lots of options.

What does a machine cost? Hadn't ever considered getting one.

Decent home one runs about 200 bucks plus the cost of paper rolls.

That is pretty big investment unless you are handling a lot of coins. I'm not that serious or consistent about it, but good to know.
