I've rolled my saved change all my life, I deposit rolled coins often...
I've never experienced a bank not accepting rolled coins... they may require
you have an account at that bank but I've yet to have my rolled coins
refused even if I've never been to that bank before... they'd be pretty
stupid not to accept rolled coins... by law banks and all businesses in the
US must accept loose coins... an experineced teller can hand count a roll of
quarters in under 15 seconds. All banks today have high speed coin
counters/wrappers... if you walk in with like $100 in rolled pennies and you
don't have your account number written on each roll they can require you to
unroll all your coins into a cloth sack and then they will put them through
the counting/wrapping machine. Banks can also require you give them 24
hours notice for large coin transactions, so if you show up with a ton of
coins you may be given an appointment to return the next day. Banks can
require you give prior notice for large cash withdrawals too.
