I got the Herb's peanut butter filled pretzel nugget containers that you can get at Sam's for my zincs. Each one holds right at $50. I either take them to the bank and dump in lobby counter or take to Coinstar. Got a small bathroom project going so I dumped $90 last Saturday at Coinstar for Lowe's credit (no fee).

I bring in what I can easily carry in one trip, usually winds up being around $50. Last dumps were 39, 54, 50, 19. I voted no because I dump twice every week no matter what, the other dump is for halves.

I usually dump about once a week... I just opened an account at a bank that lets me bring in sacks of coin, and deposit it... For my first drop off I brought in 8 bags with 50 pounds each in them...

They thought I was kidding when I opened the account and told them I would need more then 5 bags to bring in what I had...

I dump a bucket + a day... No way to keep them.. Heck I did a 5 gallon bucket of halves today before the banks closed and I'm still looking at a 2 gallon bucket of pennies and 1 of nickels.. I can't remember the last time I didn't have a bucket in my car.

From an old post. I have them in the truck at all times just in case I have time to dump them. I had $500 hid in the truck once. :mrgreen:

I dump several times a week. Everything goes. Even if it's 2c I might get lucky and get two coppers instead.

I usually wait until I fill two 1gallon buckets, about $100.
