My last dump bank was close by and had a coin counter. They got tired real quick of me filling their machine up and basically said I couldn't dump more than a few hundred dollars worth of change per month there anymore.
Well I solicited advice here and elsewhere about how to remedy the situation and decided to start dumping in bags at a new bank about 30 miles away. Last month I ordered bags from them as they only accept bags with their logo on them and today I made the first dump there.
Other than forgetting to write down some of the required info on the bags beforehand, things went surprisingly well. They credited my account immediately and I was able to use those funds to go out and purchase 3 more boxes...lol
As far as fees this is basically free at least until I dump more than a set amount per month which if memory serves me correctly is 5000 dollars worth. I am going to eventually add more banks so that I can dump at 4 or 5 banks and avoid this if possible.
As far as the bank supplied dump bags, I find that although they say to put no more than 1000 in halves in them, that they cannot hold anywhere near that much. The most I can fit in them is 750 worth, maybe 800 if I tried real hard.
I have found at least one bank with a coin counter but it is 45 miles away and I don't want to get in the habit of using them too much for fear of wearing out my welcome.
