For free. They do accept them, you just pay. I haven't checked
the policy lately, I don't have a massive coin problem or anything.
There is one bank that advertises free coin counting. Not worth

I saw one of those How It's Made shows that featured Coinstar.
I can certainly see why they charge, this is some operation.
