Roll Your Own Coins

We have a piggy (frog) bank that we always put our change in.  It was getting to the point that we couldn't put more in (it took us several years to get there).  I was going to take the change to one of the machines at the grocery store but that charge 10%.  Ouch!  The next time I was at our credit union I asked if they would accept change, they said they did but it had to be rolled.  They gave me all the paper rolls that I needed for free.  An evening watching TV shows and rolling change later we have $63.50 all ready to deposit.  That saved us $6.35!!  Wahoo!
If you have a lot of change laying around, see if your bank will take it, even if you have to roll it.
