small change

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

i am cleaning small change out of various nooks and crannies, and it seems i have a lot of it.

what's a good way to get it turned into useful money around here? just take it to a bank? is there still a machine for change at the shaw's in porter square? any charities accepting bucket-o-change?

your tuppence (figuratively) solicited :)

TD Bank on Alewife Brook has a Coinstar-esque machine that is free to use. You do not have to be a member of the bank to use it. (That was the case as recently as last year, in any event.)

I find TD Bank to be awesome in general in this regard...there is one near me that is open until 8PM many nights. I get out of work at 7PM and often need to change $20s for smaller bills for work. They have never given me a hard time about it, or even asked if I had an account there.
