Go get a student account at TD Bank (no minimum balance or fees) and they let you use their coin counting machine for free. It's worth it and I guarantee you you have a lot of cash right there. I've gotten almost $300 before and that was nowhere near 11 years' worth! Don't banks change money for free? They have to in Germany, they even have to replace banknotes which are ripped into pieces to some degree. | ||

TL;DR : it's rude because you'e too lazy to go change the coins into cash.. therefore, it wouldn't not be rude because its on purpose | ||

On that note, I just want to add that the euro is the dumbest fucking currency system ever. Do you europeans carry around 10 pounds of change at all times?? God that is so annoying. The US goes up to $1 but no one uses that crap. Typically, a train ticket dispenser will have those loaded in it if you see them anywhere, and getting one makes you want to put your foot through the damn thing | ||

When I was broke, I would use pennies to pay for the bus. Since the money acceptors were poorly designed, they could get easily jammed if you weren't careful. So the bus driver would sometimes just smile and give me a free ticket rather than risk the coin acceptor getting jammed. | ||

Money is money. The only problem I ever had was a guy giving me 9 gold dollar coins  I wanted to keep them lol | ||

I remember being younger paying with coins and this asshole that made me walk to a bank and get the coin rolls. I was 12-13 at the time. Anyways, if you have a TON of coins, I'd suggest just going and getting those rolls anyway. It'll save you and the cashier some time. Should make them easier to carry around and you can figure how much money you have pretty quickly too. | ||

Here in canada, not to long ago BMO (Bank of Montreal) started offering the same service as coinstar or whatever, but with a 0% rake, so dunno , check your banks! It's not rude, but its inconvenient for a waiter to take 20$ of quarters and dimes in their little waist bags or whatever they are called were they keep their money/change. But i wouldn't give a shit, especially if i told whomever im paying that it will be in change prior. | ||

But when they would actually take the time to count it out and hand it to me, in say, piles of a dollar, then of course I didn't mind. In fact, I was usually running low on quarters/dimes so it helped me. All in all, it's not rude if you aren't a douche about it. Take the time to count it out yourself and don't put it all into one huge pile. | ||
