I've got a load of coins just sitting around because I never used them. If there was a convenient way to turn them in I'd do it. I'm certainly not going to roll them. Every grocery store has a machine for that. They charge a percentage for the service. No rolling needed.

It might help if businesses wouldn't disallow coinage. There are signs up some places...some of them government places, that won't allow you to use change to pay for stuff. Seriously???? I've never seen that around here - anywhere...

I've never seen that around here - anywhere... A few years ago, a few really pissed off taxpayers in our county decided to pay property taxes with pennies, more for harassment purposes than anything. About the second time it happened the county tax collector/ treasurers office hung up signs prohibiting payment in coinage. Which started another screaming match over "legal tender" etc. It all just kind of died down eventually.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

A local Wal-Mart is taking my change without charge. $1395 in pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters this week. How long did it take you to roll all that up?

Americans have largely abandoned cash in favor of credit cards or contactless payments. If no one is using cash, WTF is change needed for? It's not a coin shortage.... it's a coin collection. Ding ding ding ding ding ding

All debts, public or private. Demand a receipt, and watch them count it. There is no federal law that requires a privately owned store to accept USA bills or coins. "There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise." The above is straight from the feds mouth.

The Fed is a privately owned Jew bank. ADL Anti-Semitism in the US Jewish "Control" of the Federal Reserve: A Classic Antisemitic Myth “For centuries, antisemitic propaganda has demonized the Jew as a conspiratorial, manipulative outsider, often with powers and designs of world domination. From the Middle Ages through the Holocaust, fabricated accusations against Jews as poisoners and corrupters have led to horrendous suffering for the Jewish people. In more recent years, the antisemitic notion that "the Jews" dominate and command the U.S. Federal Reserve System and in effect control the world’s money has surfaced across the extremist spectrum. Contemporary economic anxieties and distrust of government have given new life to this timeworn myth. The world of finance is an area of complexity, if not mystery, to most Americans, and confusions can easily be manipulated and suspicions aroused. The bigot’s rationale is often conveyed in inflated images of intricate, stealthy "conspiracies." For example, under the headline "The jews [sic] have a Plan," the Idaho-based Nazi-like group Aryan Nations has reported finding significance in the fact that the Federal Reserve System and the Anti-Defamation League were founded in the same year — 1913. Another "specialist" in antisemitic conspiracy fantasies, Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, recently expounded and embellished the same "historical" point.”

Near every register in this community there's always an ash tray or small bucket filled with change. If one's got the bills and is a quarter or 10 cents short clerks reach over and make up the difference. Most times if my change is composed of anything short of quarters, it all goes in the bucket.
Likely most of the change in the US resides in Vegas now.

There is no federal law that requires a privately owned store to accept USA bills or coins. Yes. There was a guy on here parroting some bozo state senator who advised that if you offer a store cash for a purchase, and they don’t accept it, you are free to considered the debt settled and can walk out with the stuff. People will believe nearly anything when it aligns with their bizarre world view.

Took couple quarts of mixed change to drive up at bank. They poured through a machine and gave me cash, no charge.

Some banks require rolled coins, some don't. We normally toss change into a jar and cash it on for a vacation, it covers about a nice dinner out.
Haven't seen the "no cash" around here, but have seen "exact change only". We've paid for some things with coins and the stores thanked us.

In the old days, banks would put your loose change through their machine for free, and give you the cash. I did it all the time as a kid and a young man. Then they started telling me I had to put them in the paper rolls they provided. I did it, and brought them in, only to see each roll get broken like an egg and poured into the counting machine before they gave me the cash. I think they just started requiring the rolls to discourage folks from bringing in their change.
PS Now that they are short on change, I bet they are starting to accept loose change again.
