How to cash in modern coins?

[whitehall]

I have been absently hoarding commemorative quarters since the first one came out in 1999. Has it been 25 years? I have them roughly classified by decade and I realized the other day that I have about 25 pounds of quarters that are worth at best only their face value. How do I cash them in? The banks won't take a sack of coins so is the coin machine in Walmart the best way to translate coins into cash? How about a pickle jar full of modern pennies?

Worth less than junk unless in proof condition.

Here're the paltry prices you could get for melt value...

Try making a coin sorter that funnels quarters into nice stacks ready for sleeving.

The Feds have fixed it so there is no melt value in modern U.S. coinage. You missed the point that I have maybe fifteen to 20 pounds of U.S. quarter dollar coinage. How do I cash it in?

A lot of banks including Wells Fargo have pulled the change machines.
Those Walmart coin machines charge about 9% to cash out your coins.
A bit of a ripoff in my opinion.

The money is legal tender and the banks should have to take it and use their own damn coin counters, even if brought a wheelbarrow full of pennies.

Just another way to screw the little guy and those that make tips.

Tribal casino slot machines will take care of that real quick.
Who knows, you might win and double it and get bills back in the process.

use those quarters at your local carwash? You could try gambling them on slots but they are all rigged, most likely just lose it all

That's what I need.

I decided to sort out the 1999 state coins and found a Delaware error coin called "the spitting horse" because of a die crack. Only worth about $20.00 but pretty cool.

if your bank wont take them its time to change banks,,

They won't take a pile of coins in a sack unless they are wrapped in a coin tube.

I find that hard to believe,,

of course you could do the unthinkable and just spend them,,

That's why they put coin machines in banks (not mine) because it's more trouble than it's worth to pay people to count the coins. I guess the solution is to buy some coin tubes and pack the stuff in easily counted containers. A 5 gal pickle jar full of pennies is another problem.

I tried to corner the market on pennies,, had a gallon jug full and it was like 30 bucks in pennies,,

of course you could recruit child or grandchild to go through them looking for collectable pennies worth thousands,,

this guy can walk you through it



I have contractor customer that has never spent change,, hes got a 55 gal drum almost full,, hes leaving it for his kids to deal with,,

as for the uarters I would just spend them,, or take them to the strip club

The Walmart machines give you a voucher. They don't charge a fee if you spend it at Walmart.

Go to Aldi, pick up a bunch of shopping carts and sell them.
