Often separating the coins isn’t necessary either. Because the value of a coin was historically the value of the metal it contained, many modern coin sizes still have a volume proportional to their value. US dimes, quarters, half dollars, and the old Eisenhower dollar coins are all $20/lb, for instance.
I've had the opposite experience like the person you're replying to. They wouldn't accept rolled coins, I guess because they have to break them to recount anyhow. And it's easier to commit fraud.
The last time I tried to deposit pre-rolled coins, the bank told me I could only deposit a maximum number per visit w/o a coin counting fee, and that number was really low.
Now when I'm dealing with a lot of cash transactions & the coins are piling up, I just keep them with me, and make sure to spend them when I can. Or I donate them to a charity box.
Ya know, that’s what I would’ve thought as well, but a year or two ago Chase Bank refused to take my loose change. They sent me away with the paper to roll the coins myself to bring back to them
