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?

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

Well, if you don't mind turning those coins into music (iTunes, Virgin), coffee (Starbucks), books (Borders, Amazon), or movies (Hollywood Video), some of those those coinstar machines at the grocery stores will waive their processing fee provided you put that cash into a gift card for those establisments.
