Bank Charging EXTRA to give coin rolls

[SoreKneesDayton]

I was in a little town bank today in Ohio to get a roll of quarters and dimes, or two, and guess what? The teller wanted to charge me extra for the coins because I am not a member of their bank.

In these times, someone is charging for exchanging coins......amazing. And no, I didn't buy any coins. I refused to pay on principle-- although it was only 5 cents per roll.

First thing to realize is that banks don't have to give you coin. Especially if you don't have an account with them. Just like banks charging non account holders to cash payroll checks. I've been lucky. I have several I can get coin from without being asked about an account. You will find some that will allow you to get coin, just keep looking.

i have noticed that the small town banks are resistant to giving up thier coin except for account holders. they seem to carry minimal amount of coin. i had one bank refuse to give me thier customer rolls because they use them to give out change. this was one of only 2 banks in the area. downtown Philly where there's lots of business and competition the banks will give you all you want.

Banks have to pay an outside companies to sort and roll coin for them. It would only make sense to me that some must pass this cost on.
