where can I cash in change without a fee?

I have an account at Astoria Federal but they don't do it. I really want to get the cash to just deposit in the kids' accounts and don't want a gift card unless I have to.

I always used to roll the change but I have no time for that anymore...any banks still do this free? If they don't, who does gift cards? Thanks!!

I *think* TD Bank does it. We haven't cashed in our coins in a while, but I'm pretty sure that's where we used to go. When DH gets in, I'll ask him.

My DH and I went to TD Bank and we cashed it in and we didn't have an account with them. I would check just to make sure.

TD Bank and Bethpage Federal (if you have accounts there).

I think everywhere else charges a fee.

TD charges 6% to non members
Coinstar is close to 10% unless you take a giftcard. I know this bc I just did it over the weekend. Good luck.

TD Bank has the penny arcade...just dump the change in, it sorts it and prints out a receipt that you turn in for cash at the teller. I dont recall though if they charge a fee for non account holders.

also, check your local supermarkets for coin star machines. I know there is a fee with that, but i think its a small %age of what you put in there.

Re: where can I cash in change without a fee?

I have used the coin counter at TD bank numerous times and they never asked me if I have an account. I use the Penny counter and bring it to the counter and they give me cash. I know that the Nassau County Police deparment credit union also have the counters but I am not sure if you need an account.
