Count your shit before.
Works wonders.
Unless you put it in wrappers they wont take it without a big argument and hassle. If you are up for that, go for it. But expect security to show up to enforce "policy".
What the hell are you talking about?
banks don't take loose change, you have to roll it first before you can exchange it at the bank
banks don't take loose change, you have to roll it first before you can exchange it at the bank
learn to use your coins. is it that hard? the next time you go out, carry 50 cents of pennies on you. pre counted. so when you need 2 quarters, pull that out.
rinse and repeat. Carry $1 worth of nickels or dimes on you. Use them as you need.
The inability for people to use change boggles my mind. That's how coinstar makes a killing.

Banks have their own industrial rolling machines. They don't want you shorting them a coin or two per roll.banks don't take loose change, you have to roll it first before you can exchange it at the bank

When I was in college as an intern, I wrote much of the software that drove coin counting machines for banks (our biggest client was Commerce Bank - now TD Bank - Penny Arcade was the product). We used a multitude of different counting machines from different manufacturers. I presume Coinstar uses something similar.
The machines can make errors, but they do go both ways. There is no scam here trying to con you out of your money. These machines are mechanical, and just don't always report the exact count.
However, in my experience, the errors happen on a pretty small scale, and can go in favor of either you or the bank.
