WTF... it has been a while since I went to the bank to deposit coins.
And the fees they levy is... whoo~~! Steep!!
No longer are they charging a fee for the amount deposited. They are now charging by the number of pieces of coins deposited.
And they would not take your coins if they are not sorted!
Duh~~~! If I have to sort it so that you can use the machine to count them, then why the hell am I still being charge a fee for? TO use the machine? TO the tune of $1.50 per 100 pieces of coins counted?
Look at it this way, if I were to have pennies that I have to deposit, I'd be charge $1.50 to deposit $1 worth of coins. Does that make any sense?
And what is this about having to sort the coins first? HELLO... I am being charged a fee here. Why do I still have to do the job for the bank to sort them coins out before I bring it into the bank?
Sheez~~~!

yes, that is the sole reason why i stopped keeping change. you know how we were taught to keep our change as a form of savings since young. i used to keep my spare change in a coin bank and deposit them when there is a fair bit. since they started charging i decided to stop doing that. i know it takes more time to have coins deposited but to charge this much is too much for me to stomach.
one suggestion is to find a stall operator you are familiar with. since they are charged a fee to change dollar notes to coins, they'll be more than happy to change with you. that was what i did with my coins the last time.
