    Not sure..probably hv to have acct. Most banks will do that....far as I know...
    BOA...bags it up...loose..sends it off then deposit in your acct when done. For actual cash the kiosk is better.

    Most of the banks around here don't have the machines anymore. I even spoke to the bank manager at one of our banks and she said that corporate had them removed, but she didn't know why, because they worked well and were convenient for customers. Now, large numbers of coins have to be rolled up with your bank account number written on each roll, which is more trouble than it's worth unless you're desperate. We have another bank that does have a machine though.

    I have a machine at home that will sort coins into rolls but it jams up sometimes and the count can't be depended upon.

    I remember when banks used them as a way of getting kids used to saving. They could bring their coins in, and the machine was on the counter, and it was fun.

    Yea, my ex had some sort of machine but it didn't work very well.

    I'll ask my bank but that's it...I'm not needing to use that money so it can just sit around the house as it has for years.

    How about finding a youngster to roll your coin on shares. 70/30, 60/40. 50/50.

    Young kids always need a little jingle in their jeans!

    I'd have to go in the neighborhood and ask kids I don't know.

    My youngest grandsons are in Illinois.

    The oldest in college and the next one just started high school...he has more money than I do.

    We don't have ''rolls''' although I've seen them in use on American tv shows... . Here we have to 'Bag'' them up into certain amounts.. some in £5.00 bags, some in £10.00...and pennies in just £1.00 bags..so the pennies take forever to bag up if we have loads..


    here's our change box, a little larger than a shoebox ....this lot bagged up came to over £500
