I use a plastic jug that is about 2 gallons and has a very wide mouth. I go to a few branches of my credit union and dump there. My jug hold about $40 when 2/3 full. I can easily carry it in, dump and go out.
Granted I am small time and only do this occassionally, two weeks ago was the last time.
I have found if I dump less than $50 at a time the machines can fill up two of the four cent bags and not attract attention, but if you fill up all the bags you get the dirty looks and wailing and moaning of staff needing to change bags.
The machines also have a light on the side to allert staff they need to change the bags. |
Awake, O kings of the earth! Come ye, O, come ye, with your gold and your silver, to the help of my people, to the house of the daughters of Zion, to the help of the people of the God of this Land even Jesus Christ. |

I called a half-dozen of the nearest banks where I'm a member, and found only one that accepts the plastic tamper-proof bags. They're willing to provide the bags to me as well, so I'm glad about that.
Now that I can start dumping easily, my addiction is only going to get worse. 
For anyone who thinks they need to re-roll them: call every bank in your area, regardless of whether you're a member. Once you find one that accepts bagged change, become a member and start dumping! |

I've been trying!!! But they all seem to want either rolled or run through their counters. |
