Find a bank where you dont dump that has a counting machine.. ask if you can buy the penny bags when they are full....if they wont sell to you, make them a dump bank :D

For me I usually have to go to the smaller banks to find bags. Also a minor note, the $50 bags usually weigh in the vicinity of 30 pounds.

Hey D4C....so I've got my eye on a few local banks that only have one/two/three branches, but have a coin machine. Problem is, they charge between 7-10 percent to use that coin machine. So in this case, making them a dump bank wouldn't be good, because they are then making me lose money (similar to CoinStar at 10%). What would you advise in this instance, (assuming they won't let you buy the bags)? I guess I could dump tons of rolled coin on them, but then I have to spend my time rolling the coins (ugh). Sigh. You can't win.
