There's a machine where you can dump in all your coins. It then prints a receipt; and you go to the teller, where they hand you cash. It's completely free, and you don't need to be a TDBank customer. I'm not a TDBank customer, and I've used this many times. Go to any TDBank. There’s a machine where you can dump in all your coins.

It’s completely free, and you don’t need to be a TDBank customer. I’m not a TDBank customer, and I’ve used this many times.

Cut several cereal boxes (the same size) in half across the width, if need be put a layer of clear packing tape across the bottom flaps to be sure they are secure. Trace on the bottom of the first box a Loonie in several places (Canadian one dollar coin... Americans skip to quarters), On the second trace a quarter, next a nickle, then a penny, last of all a dime. Keep one unmarked to be the very bottom. Now cut out the traced circles a bit bigger then the tracings but not so big that the next larger size coin can fit through. This gets very tricky on the penny and dime sized holes so try to stay as close to the tracings as possible with the dime holes to help keep pennies from mixing. Stack the cereal box halves so they are upright the bottom of each cut box is in the top of the box for the next smaller coin with the uncut box as the very bottom. Then all you have to do is toss your spare change in it as it accumulates and give it a shake. The coins should fall through each layer until the holes are too small. To wrap them simply unstack the boxes and count out however may is needed for each tube.

Don't know about the credit unions since I am not a member of one at this time.

Most banks or credit unions now have a machine in their lobby that you can dump your jar of mixed coins into, and it will count them all and print out a receipt for the total amount. And these machines are generally free for customers. Why would you bother doing this?
