change counters getting a workout

The local bank that charges just 2 percent to non-account-holders now has long lines of people waiting to dump bags of collected pocket change. It's free to account holders, and we're lining up too: Just collected $30. Funny to hear people discussing which grocery stores give the best break on change; it's about 10 percent and you can only use store credit for food. We just moved from NYC to the Finger Lakes near Rochester so this report comes from a small lake town.
