Veridian Credit Union counted my change earlier this summer at the West Des Moines location off University by Mercy West
Bank won't deposit my change?

Next time they charge you a fee bring them the change to pay.

I haven't heard of this, but I'm not surprised to see it, and I can't imagine having enough change to make a deposit.
It's funny that banks are going away from this and pushing their app deposit systems now too.
I used to go to the bank 3+ times a week to deposits payments but the tellers steered me towards the new app that I can deposit checks with. Now I only go in when I have cash to deposit. I thought it was weird the teller was steering me towards the mobile deposit thus potentially eliminating their job.

Wait until you hear about my ketchup/mustard in the same bottle idea. Gah, ****, there goes that one.
The main branch of my credit union on Lyon has a coin separating machine behind the counter but if I go to the Altoona branch I have to use the self serve machine. Community Choice CU.
That's smart spread it between banks to avoid detection
We have a ton of change as it seems none of us in the house actually use it during purchases. I probably would, but I hate carrying change in my pockets, so it goes in the jar as soon as we get home. We have just resorted to using the CoinStar machines at the grocery store we frequent. Their fees are stupid high for cash, but if you choose the Amazon option, there is no fee. It sucks not being able to deposit change directly to the bank anymore as it was always nice seeing a couple hundred bucks deposited, but my wife uses Amazon so much, it's just as nice always having money in our account there as well. It's kind of a wash for us, since the money would end up going to Amazon no matter what.
Where at? This surprises me because I remember around the Des Moines Metro when they were making this change they had signs plastered all over the branches about it.
I went into my Wells Fargo a couple weeks ago (Washington state) and ended up spending a good 40 minutes wrapping $7 worth of change at an empty banker's desk. Don't feel a bit bad for the couple of Canadian coins that made their way into the rolls.

Dude get creative. Put a mask on stick your finger in your coat pocket and demand they deposit it.
I have 3 bank accounts.
Online Bank
Do most everything here. Good savings rate so I have checking and savings
Local Bank
Use this strictly for bills that are automatically deducted. So I have $*** come out of my paycheck and automatically deposited into the checking account. That same amount gets deducted from my bills (Verizon, Mediacom, Mortgage, etc)
Local Credit Union
Strictly for cashing in change once a year or so. I also have about 500 checks from this bank for the twice a year or so that I have to actually write a check.
I was thinking of combining my Local Bank and local Credit Union but the credit unions web site is so horrible that I just can't do it. If it wasn't for those checks, I would just close it but I guess it's not hurting anything. I can transfer between the 3 banks online so it's never hard to move around money. The other good thing about having all these accounts is that when I travel overseas, I can give one card to my wife and keep the other card to myself in case we lose one.

I thought they stopped taking the paper sleeves because they had to run them through the counter anyway to verify they weren't getting nickeled and dimed.
My bank will still take my change jar and run it through the machine. I hate paying the 9.5% or whatever CoinStar charges.
Here is another one, the bank that we use for our charity group actually charged us a $4 fee for DEPOSITING CASH
