I have been out of the passion for the last year but trying to get back into it and its a pain i can't find any banks with coin counters or bank bags. I can take my coins to my Bank of America and put them in a plastic bag and they send them off to Brinks to get counted and I don't have any fee. But I am looking to actually have my own banks where i can drop off my coins and then have a bank that has their own coin sorter inwhich i can use them to pick up bags of pennies (not in the boxes striaght from brinks)
I live in west county/stcharles and if anyone knows of actually branch names or credit unions locally that have their own coin counters that would be nice. I knew of a few Region Banks that use to have their own sorters but they replaced them by now using Brinks.
~Thanks

| Hey sportsdude that is a heck of a sorter on utube. I live in Southern Illinois. My dump bank has a lobby coin counter which I use on an average of twice a week. I get my pennies from other branches in town. The banks here are really nice. I just wanted to welcome you back, and give a little info happy sorting. |

What are the names of the branches that have lobby coin counters by you? Fifth Third Bank, First Bank, Bannk of America, etc...could you tell me the branch name then i could locally look at those branches by me for coin counters. Or is it a local credit union that as the lobby counter?
I have not look at any credit unions by me or other Bank of Americas etc past 10 miles from me and have no problem searching out those banks out.

| The bank that has the coin counter in my town is a local bank. However they are the only bank in town that has the lobby counter. And believe me it gets used alot. If it was't my dump bank, I would be buying the bags. Being a small town though everyone is very nice, like cheers everyone knows your name. |

| I live somewhere in the st Louis area. The Clayton branch of Commerce Bank will accept unrolled coins as deposits only. I deposited $324 worth of nickels not too long ago and only got 321 and change deposited. So either their machine is miss counting, my rolls I originally recieved were short, or someone took a pocket full of nickels. |

I'm on the west side of the state.
Go the credit union route. Join several. I have the best luck receiving and dumping at them. Good lock.
