However, our loonies and toonies are magnetic! (So are the dimes and quarters). J.

Randy (Schatten) Member Username: Schatten Post Number: 598 Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 2:28 am:    J. - I wish your suggestion worked, but unfortunately no financial institution or anyone else will honor rolls that are not stamped by a bank or automated machine for accuracy.

As a kid I used to troll in wishing wells with a magnet. Used to get a significant # of Canadian nickels. (FWIW, US nickels are, as I remember, 25% nickel, whereas Canadian are/were around 75%. That difference in alloy seemed to make the difference between magnetic and non) '75 308 GT4 (Peter) Intermediate Member Username: Peter Post Number: 2408 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Monday, January 20, 2003 - 11:17 pm:    Wow, multi-gallon-sized piggy banks... Big players here. I only have a small Tootsie Roll container half-full of pennies. No joke! And those are Canadian pennies!!

If you're hip and cool like me, you're organizing your sock drawer- get with it, dude...

He used the cash to spend a month in spain. I think there was 3k in it. It only took the two of us 3 or four hours or so. No big deal. If your bank won't do it for free, just spend a saturday doing it.

If you've got a CD or an IRA through them and you're a "regular customer" or have an account with a large amount of money in it, they should definitely wave any fees they might apply- if they want to charge you, make no hesitation in piping up about how good a customer you are... If they still want to charge you, just ask them for a lot of rollers and i'll come by this weekend and roll it all for you... for a ride, of course... Hans E.

You probably have a whoooooooole lot. Once again, go to your bank. ;-) Jason- Jim E (Jimpo1) Intermediate Member Username: Jimpo1 Post Number: 1195 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Monday, January 20, 2003 - 6:41 pm:    I took mine to the bank in an old pillow case. I filled out a deposit slip and wrote $50 or some number and turned it in. About 3 days later, I got a 'deposit adjustment' for another $100 or so. J. Grande (Jay) Member Username: Jay Post Number: 992 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Monday, January 20, 2003 - 6:19 pm:    Got any kids? Put them to work rolling coins! Make them work for that allowence. Randy (Schatten) Member Username: Schatten Post Number: 595 Registered: 4-2001 Posted on Monday, January 20, 2003 - 6:13 pm:    I believe banks even charge a 1% fee for it, but that's still considerably less than any other machine. If you are "in" with the bank, you might get that waved.

The change machines in the grocery stores around here charge 8% as well.
