Open it with the coins.

Take home amount you want/need and leave enough to keep the account active for your next coin service.

I like the way you think. I'm still laughing at that one!

Again, thanks for all the replies! I was just trying to find out if banks still will accept bulk loose coins. Now y'all have me wondering if it is just the branch I went to and not Wells Fargo in general. Might have to start checking around some more. The problem used to be that only account holders could use this service and I'm willing to bet that is still true with the banks everyone has mentioned above. I'm happy with Wells Fargo so far and am not changing banks just because they don't accept coins that are not rolled.

Thanks for all the responses so far.

Navy FCU also has a free machine, they have a location off Bush/190 near Garland.

Do you have to have an account with them? I know where that bank is, but I don't have an account there.

I have a large popcorn tin that I toss my change in every day after work. This is my daughter's "piggy bank". She is wanting to "cash it in" for spending money for our upcoming vacation. I stopped by my bank today to see if they would accept it for either deposit in my account or cash bills. They said they would do both, BUT it had to be rolled and my account number put on each roll. We are talking about A LOT of pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters here. Just guessing, but probably over $200 worth. I'm not going to do all that. I hate to pay Coinstar 10.9% fee to use them, but may have to. Anyway, I was just wondering if ANY banks still accept unrolled, bulk loose change any more. My old bank, years ago, would, but only for deposit. Does your bank?
