Does TD Canada still have coin counters?

I just made a stop at a TD in Delaware and was informed that they have done away with coin counters. Still I have some Canadian coin I was planning on dumping on a trip up there. Here we now have to roll coins so I wonder if I will have to roll before visiting Canada. If so I have to find some place to get a lot of Canadian paper wrappers.

I haven't got a clue as I don't have a TD within 80 miles. We just roll all ours by hand as it is a family evening.

All TD coin coin counters recently closed I understand. They claimed they were inaccurate.

I can't speak for TD, but I do have an account at RBC. One usually follows the other. When I take coin to Canada, it all has to be rolled. It's really not that tough to do as I watch a game (baseball, football, etc.) and place them in small stacks during commercials or less interesting moments. Easy to roll from there.
I take all my rolls (last batch totaled over 600$ CDN). No muss, no fuss. The teller tallies up the denominations and then asks if I want the bills in CDN funds or converted to US dollars. Even a split between them is just fine.
I was there just 7 weeks ago. I get more respect by bank tellers in Canada than I do here in the US. The RBC tellers don't weigh the rolls, require my account number on them or anything else. I do know that all the rolled cents, nickel dollar coins and old damaged currency (1954 and 1973 series) are shipped to Ottawa for smelting or destruction.
No one needs Canadian coin rolls at RBC. I put together rolls of loonies and toonies and wrap them in plain white paper. While I securely seal the ends and write the face amount $25 or $50 on them, that's it.
I believe the statement about the coin counters is true. Think for a moment about all the different coin compositions still in circulation in Canada. No way it can discriminate between all of the weights and metal compositions. BTW, you don't need Canadian coin wrappers. Get a few from your bank. I have a greater need for them and purchase larger amounts from bank supply places, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
Oh yes. As a last resort, you could also deposit your rolled coin in my RBC account. I'd thank you profusely.
Good luck with the exchange. KCC
