I recommend:
1) You can go to the bank. However, you need to deposit them in rolls. The bank will have these paper rolls that you can put the coins in. For example, they have a $0.50 roll for pennies, $2.00 roll for nickles. They won't usually accept a piggy bank full of coins without you organizing it.
2) Alternatively, there are coin machines at some supermarkets stores that will convert them into dollars, giftcards, or even sent them directly to your bank for you. Check out: http://www.coinstar.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-1
Put in your zip code to find locations.
Good luck!

Look at coinstar.com and find a machine near you. They'll keep 9% of it, but will give you a voucher you can cash or shop with at the store. With pennies, I'd pay the 9% for not having to count and wrap the damn things. |

yes you can deposit it, but you need to get some coin wrappers and wrap it. Some grocery stores have machines that do this for you, but they charge. |

Your bank should take them, but if they were mine I would save every one dated 1982 and older. That is the year they began making them with zinc and very little copper.
Might be worth something someday. |

Our local bank is Commerce Bank. They have a machine that sorts and counts your money automatically. There's no charge and you don't even have to have an account there.
Many other banks near us won't take rolled money unless you print your name and address on them and are an account holder.
The grocery stores have "Star" machines that count your money and keep 6% (at least the ones here do). But if I had a load of pennies, I'd rather give up a few percent than fool with all those wrappers and having to write on them too! |

you will have to roll them before the bank accepts the pennies, but they will give you the penny rolls -- if you really don't want to do that go to a change machine -- we have them in tops (grocery store) around here, they take $0.08 from every dollar, but it saves you alot of work |

My credit union has a machine to sort and count the coins for me. I have heard that some banks are now charging for this service. I don't know if that's for non members or everyone. I would call around and find out who does it for free. |

you will have to wrap it to deposit it at the bank. i suggest going to one of those coin counters like in wal-greens and do it that way, you will save alot of time and it gives you cash for your change, just drop in the change and it sorts counts and gives you your money :) |

I think they have a coin thing at Kroger, but i am not positive it is either coin to paper or paper to coin, but I am 98% positive it will do what you want. |

Yep. You'll have to roll the coins first though or they wont take them. You can get coin rolls at most stores. |

Yes. But I think you gotta count/ roll the coins yourself. Another option is a coinstar machine (in most grocery stores) but they take out a chunk (like 8%) of the total amount. Kinda stinks, but if you've got a massive amount...what're you gonna do? |

Yep, just going to the back works fine |

If you go to the bank you have to have the paper rolls for them first and have to have them rolled in order to cash them in. You can as well go to one of those CoinStar's that you find inside of the grocery stores and cash it in there too. |
