[QUOTE="Richard Kolb, post: 878781, member: 63191"] some banks will let you use their machines for free, I'm surprised your bank won't. I would guess that you have about $1,200 in pennies there, it's be worth it for you to buy a machine that rolls the pennies and roll the damn things yourself. How did I get to $1,200? Pre-1982 weigh 3.11 grams, after 1982 they are 2.5 grams. If you assume you have 50/50 then it's 2.8 grams, 750lbs/2.8 grams is 121497.956 pennies, divide by 100 and you get about $1,200. Of course you probably have more then 50/50 for 1982 so you may have a bit more, up to $1360.77 if it's all post-1982. That doesn't count if tarnish makes them weigh more or if there is dirt on them, etc. etc. I'd go with the $1,200. I wouldn't expect a metal place to take pennies since they're only copper plated.
