OT: cashing in coins

Smitty Two · 2011-03-09T13:47:15+00:00

Just curious what others are doing with their jars of coins. I used to roll these annually and deposit them at the bank, but now my bank doesn't trust me in that regard. Thinks I might be trying to sell them a roll of washers.They did offer to take my coins, and send them out to a coin-counting company for a mere 1% of the value, then credit my account. That seems reasonable, at least compared to the supermarket rip-off machines. I wonder whether I can trust them, though. Maybe the coin-counting company takes 1% plus 1 fat handful.Last year I just decided to buy lunch with them until I'd used them up, but that gets tedious.

Unlike the American banking system, BANKS in Canada are regulated. There are also trust companies, which are not chartered banks, and credit unions.

Trust companies merge and change names fairly often. Credit unions likewize. VERY occaisionally, a "chartered bank" will absorb or merge with a trust company - and this is what happened in the case of TD Canada Trust.
