Types of Coin counters?

[Eldar11]

I went to my bank today to dump a small amount of pennies ($5) and a roll of halves. When I got there, the coin sorting machine wasn't working when I tried to use it. One of the tellers came over and opened it up, used some canned air on the hopper, made sure everything was plugged in right and then it worked. When he opened it up though, there were two bins for coins, and everything was mixed. The coins seem to be counted and recorded, but end up in unsorted bins.

Has anyone else seen this? Mostly I hear about people buying bags of halves or what not from the coin counters, and that would not be possible with this model.

coin machines in my area have little slots where a vareity of bags are inserted and filled up at a certain denomination... there is/are:
1 dollar bag(small dollars, holds $100)
1 half dollar bag(holds $100)
2 quarter bags(each hold $500)
2 dime bags(each hold $500)
1 nickel bag(Holds $100)
2 penny bags(Holds $50)

The coin counter at the PNC bank I use has one big bin on wheels that holds 70,000 coins according to one of the tellers. It counts by denomination and then prints a receipt that I take to the teller. When it's full the teller hooks a pull bar/handle to it and pulls it into the vault for Brinks to pick up.

The CU has a counter that sorts and counts by denomination. The coins are bagged by denomination.

The one I use gives you a slip as well, I think all the coin counters in banks these days do that. I found it interesting that Arizona State Credit Union uses coinstar in their locations. For regular members it doesn't take anything, business members it takes 5%, and non members it takes 10%.

I wish the banks near me had coin counters. The closest one is about 10 miles away. Sure it's not far but it's still out of the way.

That is what coinstar does.

My CU also takes 10% off for non-members.

Most do it seems, but my bank actually allows it's coin counter for anyone for free. Including non members, which is pretty cool.

One of mine takes a whopping 15% off for non members.

I've never seen one that didn't allow quarters before.
