So I tried to buy a money order with a giant jar of change

The bank teller made me count it all out at the counter, and I lost about 45 minutes of my life for a $75 payment. Has anyone found a decent way to deal with big piles of coins without looking like a weirdo?

Seriously, they made you count it right there? That's some next level punishment. My bank has those little coin trays and they just dump it in the machine in the back. Making a customer do it at the counter feels like a power trip. No wonder it took forever. You'd think they'd want to get you out of the line.

That coin counting machine fee is basically a tax on being too broke to have a checking account.

More broke than the coin machine I'm fighting.

I once used a coin machine at the grocery store but the fee was just brutal.
