Thanks in advance! | If you just want to convert to bills just go to the River Rock and get it changed there for free.

^ $150.. I'm pretty sure my piggy bank has less than that 
I guess I'll stop being a lazy ass and go to a bank to get those free coin wrappers and count the change myself

in one of the center aisles, they sell these "nifty gift ideas".
there's a coin-counting jar for $20.

safeway's have them but they take like 10% of the amount you have i think...
if you go to a bank, i believe they give you those rolls to put your change in. ..

Safeway will take 10% of what you put in.
Just go River Rock, exchange for free.
But don't be an ass by just going in and out just for that.

some stupid girl came into the bank today at 355pm (4pm closing time)
and wanted us to count her bag full of mixed coins......... the teller next to me started doing it for her and i was like.. WTF? then, i told her go wrap the coins first, then we will take it. or else we will never balance and go home!
she was like.. awww, really? do i have toooo? that's such a waste my time. (you stupid bitch, it's your own money!)
she was whining, so i basically told her to fuck off. (in a polite way of course)
anyways, i see many many people coming in to change coins (half bags, full bags, boxes, you name it)
i guess the reccession is killing everyone and they will go under their bed and find all the money they could! lol..

Buzz Killington: I disagree. My job security remains prominent and I have no worries about wage deductions. I've only benefited from this so-called recession that is hardly making a dent in anything other than fuel prices and americans.

Casinos have self coin counting machines. place coins in and it will sort it and give you the cash.
Some casinos will not let you do this if you do not plan to play at the casino.
