If you need a quick guide to help you turn your coins into cash quickly, follow these steps:
1. Sort coins by type: You’ll need to separate them by pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters and so on.
1. Check to see if your bank offers free coin deposit: Call the local branch or check the bank locator on the website to confirm.
1. Use wrappers if required: The bank may not allow you to cash in your coins unless they’re wrapped. You can find these at the bank and even inexpensive versions are available at the dollar store.
1. Visit a coin machine or teller: Once you’ve gathered your coins or wrapped them, you can visit the retailer or bank of your choosing. While a Coinstar machine is convenient, a bank teller can help facilitate the process.
Deposit or get your cash: If you visit a bank, you can choose to deposit your coins into your account — and even open a new account if you don’t already have one.
You can also decide to receive cash. Otherwise, using a coin sorting machine will give tou access to cash quickly.
