Money Tips 11 - Grandma and Grandpa had the right idea when they threw their change into a cigar box and took it to the bank when the box was full! These days, you don't have to sit down and roll coins into those annoying little paper tubes Grandma and Grandpa used to use. Many banks now have machines that sort out your collected change and give you a receipt which you can take to a bank teller along with your deposit slip so all that loose change goes right into your checking or savings account.Do NOT confuse this feature with the coin-collecting machines (such as Coinstar) found in supermarkets, discount stores and other commercial locations. These machines take a portion of your coinage (usually 3 to 8 cents on the dollar) as a service fee. Bank machines do the work for free if you have an account with the bank.
