Where do you return coins?

[Customx_12]

Say you go to a bank, order a box of halves, open them up and find no keepers, what do you do with the coins? Roll them up and go back to the same bank? Different bank? Do they look at you funny and/or roll their eyes when they see you coming back with the coins they just gave you the other day?

Just use the coins to buy your groceries

Take them back to a bank that would not give you any coins

Read the rules of coin roll hunting at the top of the page. All answers are there.

There was nothing in the rules section unless you’re referring to the 17 pages of responses “beginner’s guide” thread. In that case, I read the first post with no mention of it and, frankly, don’t feel like sifting through hundreds of replies to maybe find some potential answers to a fairly basic question. If you’d rather not answer, that’s fine but I am still interested in hearing what others do.

I only bought from Bank of America, 2 boxes a week and searched those for silver. I used the same rolls I got in the box, never used up my new rolls. I cut the tops off the rolls as it was easy for me to push the coins out and then slide them back into the existing roll. Then i had a account in Chase where I returned all the boxes. There was 6 branches of Chase in this town and I went to each branch in order so every 6 weeks I saw the same one. I didn't want to overload any one branch, and i also asked each branch if they had any halves and would buy what they had, never my own as in 6 weeks they had returned mine. Has worked for me for many years.

You get yourself what is referred to as a "dump bank" and like islamoradamark said if there was a bank that wouldn't sell you coin, make that your dump bank. It might mean you will have to have two accounts with different banks maybe B.of A. and say Wells Fargo as an example or even within the same branches.

Thanks for the answers! I’ve heard some say they return them to casinos. Do casinos still take change and convert it to cash for you without charging a fee?

I have done that in the past when traveling, but don't know if they still will do that?

Find a bank that has a front lobby self serve coin counting machine, dump, providing NO fees involved.

I have paid my mortgage a couple of times. They don't care they have a coin counter in the back. A box and a quarter pays the bill.

I got free checking accounts at 12 banks, 2 without coin machines. $10 minimum to open.

I only get boxes from the 2 banks with no counters and dump at the banks with counters. Between all the branches there are about 25 banks with free coin counters. I never dump at a bank I pick up from

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. Long as you don't ask anymore questions about the hobby that's cool, otherwise it will appear you just want others to do the work for you. I was sincerely trying to be helpful.
