I called around a couple of months ago and NONE of the major banks
offered coin counting. This is the Boston area.

As far as I know, my bank will take my wrapped coins without a fee.

I have a now way nearly full 5 gallon water jug and let me tell you, I
am switching to a smaller container after I finish wrapping up what I have.
