Coin Conundrum

[kigs]

I have four containers full of assorted coins and can't find out how to turn them in.

I've heard that if you want to trade them in at the bank, you need to put them in the appropriate tubes.
With four containers, I imagine that by the time I finished rolling coins, the government will have been overthrown and established a new form of currency.

Yet, those things at the groccery stories where you pour in the change take 10%.
This is a problem, as I am a miserly old bag of rage.

Are there any other options?
Has anyone ever done this before?
How do you suggest going about doing this?

PS:
I love Gyl's mood icons. Everytime I see the "Geeky" icon wearing both goggles and glasses, I crack up.

I saw them recently...like at Wal-Mart? My husband has one, it says "Easy Money" on the side, but it's an old one. The battery thingie was broken, but he managed to wire it up to a 3 volt adapter and it sorting again :-)

They sell them at office supply stores. I passed by one in Staples when I was looking for self-laminating sheets for AC.
