Accumulated $30 worth of coins

Whenever I get change in coins from shopping at a store, or find some on the street or elsewhere, I usually always take the coins and put them in coin wrappers. Once I accumulate a decent amount I go and deposit into the bank.
I had $30 worth of coin wrappers and decided it was time to put them into my bank account. I went to Chase and told the bank teller I want to deposit coins. She wasn't thrilled about it. Once I told her the coins were in wrappers her expression changed but she still asked me how much I am depositing. I told her $30 and she said that's fine.
Really? What if I wanted to deposit a lot more money in coins? Would I not be able to do that? It's not like I am bringing a bag of loose change. It's in wrappers and since each roll has the total value printed on it it's quick and easy to calculate the total and confirm that it matches what I wrote on the deposit slip.

She obviously has had some bad coin experiences. Have a good weekend.

Bank tellers still hate dealing with coins.

@lovebuglena Yeah, I know. But some people still hate having to deal with it.

They shouldn’t have an issue with it if the coins are in wrappers. And cashiers shouldn’t have an issue with coins either. If I wanna pay for something with coins I should be able to do it. Within reason of course.

@lovebuglena Usually it would be the customer behind you that should be irritated if you pay with coins. The cashiers can't simply accept the rolls since they have no idea if you skipped a coin and shorted the roll, so it all has to be hand counted and that's very likely going to hold up the line.

Coins are money. I should be able to deposit them no matter the amount, especially if they are in wrappers.

Right now my coin jar has over $150 in it, and I only know that because it's a talking one that counts the coins and tells me the balance. My penny jar is quite full too, and I have no idea how much is in there. I have been tossing pennies into it for 30 years or more. It's a rather large jar.
As for turning coins in, all I have to do is go to the change counter and pour the coins in, it prints off a receipt with the total, and I take that to the teller for deposit or cash.

How come you don’t put pennies with the rest of the coins?
You’re lucky with the coin counter at your bank. Mine doesn’t have any.

@lovebuglena I just prefer to keep them separate for whatever reason. I've always done it that way.
