Wells Fargo coin machines and coin services

Wells Fargo does not operate coin-counting machines in its branches. If you need to deposit rolled coins, you can bring them to any Wells Fargo branch during business hours — tellers will accept pre-rolled coins in standard paper wrappers and deposit them to your account. If your coins are loose, you'll need to roll them yourself before going to the bank, or use a coin-rolling machine at a different location.

Some Wells Fargo branches may have coin wrappers available at the teller window, though availability varies by location. Call your local branch ahead of time to confirm they have the denomination you need and to ask whether they can provide wrappers.

Key Takeaways

  • Wells Fargo accepts pre-rolled coins at the teller window but does not have coin-counting machines in branches.
  • Coins must be rolled in standard paper wrappers before deposit — loose coins cannot be deposited at the teller window.
  • Some branches stock coin wrappers, but you should call ahead to confirm availability for your denomination.
  • If you need to count and roll loose coins, grocery stores, laundromats, and some credit unions offer coin machines.

How to deposit rolled coins at Wells Fargo

Bring your rolled coins to any Wells Fargo branch during business hours. Present them to a teller along with your account information or debit card. The teller will count the rolls, verify the total, and deposit the amount to your account. There is no charge for this service if you are a Wells Fargo customer.

The teller may ask you to verify the contents of each roll, especially if the rolls appear damaged or if the bank's policy requires spot-checking. If a roll is short or contains mixed denominations, the teller will let you know before processing the deposit.

Where to find coin-rolling machines near you

Since Wells Fargo branches do not have coin machines, you'll need to look elsewhere to count and roll loose coins. Grocery stores often have coin machines in the customer service area or near the front entrance — Coinstar machines are common in supermarkets nationwide, though they charge a fee (usually 10 to 12 percent of the total). Some grocery stores offer free coin counting if you use the coins to buy a gift card or make a purchase.

Credit unions sometimes offer free coin-counting services to members, even if you don't bank there — call ahead to ask. Laundromats may have change machines that can accept coins, though these are designed for making change rather than depositing large amounts. Banks other than Wells Fargo — including local community banks and credit unions — may have coin machines available to customers or the public.

Rolling coins by hand if you don't have a machine

If you cannot find a coin machine, you can roll coins manually using paper wrappers. Standard coin wrappers hold the following amounts: pennies (50 coins, $0.50), nickels (40 coins, $2.00), dimes (50 coins, $5.00), and quarters (40 coins, $10.00). You can buy coin wrappers at office supply stores, banks, or online.

Count out the correct number of coins for each denomination, place them in the wrapper, and fold the ends closed. Stack the rolls neatly so they don't fall apart during transport. Wells Fargo tellers will accept hand-rolled coins as long as they are in standard wrappers and the rolls are secure.

What happens if your coins are not rolled

Wells Fargo tellers cannot process loose coins at the teller window. If you arrive with loose coins, you will be asked to roll them or to use a coin machine elsewhere. Some branches may allow you to use a back room or quiet area to roll coins on-site, but this is not may provide — call your branch first to ask.

Do not attempt to deposit loose coins through an ATM. ATMs are not designed to accept coins and will reject them. Coin deposits must be made in person at the teller window with rolled coins.

Coinstar and other third-party coin services

Coinstar machines are the most widely available coin-counting option. They are located in most grocery stores and some retail locations. You pour your loose coins into the machine, it counts them, and you receive a receipt. You can then exchange the receipt for cash at the customer service desk, or choose to receive a gift card instead (which may have a lower or no fee).

Coinstar charges a percentage fee — typically 10 to 12 percent — which means a $10 deposit costs about $1 to process. If you choose a gift card option instead of cash, the fee may be waived or reduced. This is more expensive than depositing rolled coins at a bank, but it saves time if you have a large amount of loose change.
