ROLLIN', ROLLIN', ROLLIN'

Blogdaughter Teresa of Technicalities is having issues with her bank:

I had taken some coins in to the bank to get them changed... They don't have a coin counter!!! UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE! She told me I'd have to put them into coin wrappers and bring them back!

Coin handling policies & equipment vary wildly from one financial institution to the next and there's no rhyme or reason to it.

So instead of wasting your time rolling coins, it's probably better to waste the time making phone calls to any nearby bank or credit union, and ask 2 questions:

1) do you have a coin counter?
2) is there a charge to use it if you're not a customer?

I'd bet it wouldn't take long to get "yes, no".

Yeah I found another bank that will do it for me - I just have to find the time to get over there. *grin*

I also have to find the time to figure out why my trackbacks aren't working... sheesh - it's always something! Thanks for the linky though.

Banks suck. Credit Unions are usually better.
