11.9% at the Robson Safeway store anyway.

Yup. 11.9% at the Willingdon Safeway too. Used to be 9.8% when they had them in their stores a few years ago. Ah well, I still took over $100 change their. It's not worth my time to roll it myself.

BMO has coin counters at some of their locations that don't charge a fee. And you don't even need to have a BMO account Coin Counters | BMO Bank of Montreal | |
