Just curious what others are doing with their jars of coins. I used to
roll these annually and deposit them at the bank, but now my bank
doesn't trust me in that regard. Thinks I might be trying to sell them a
roll of washers.

They did offer to take my coins, and send them out to a coin-counting
company for a mere 1% of the value, then credit my account. That seems
reasonable, at least compared to the supermarket rip-off machines. I
wonder whether I can trust them, though. Maybe the coin-counting company
takes 1% plus 1 fat handful.

Last year I just decided to buy lunch with them until I'd used them up,
but that gets tedious.

Dang, you never heard of ketchup soup? :-)

I just throw them in a basket, and when I get about ten pounds, I take them
to the Longhorn Saloon in Las Vegas, and change them in. Most I ever
changed in at one time was $700. Handy at Christmas, or when I want a treat
of a bottle of Glennfiddich single malt.
