I have a piggy bank full of change. Will the bank count it out?

My fiance and I have been putting pocket change (money) into a BIG jar for about a year now. It is FULL and we have started another jar.

We have been wanting to take a vacation for the past two years, and when we started the jar we decided that the money in it would go towards spending money on a trip. Well, we recently booked a 10 day trip to disney world. We will be going in May 2008. The trip was less than 3,000 dollars (it includes a 10 day stay at a disney resort hotel, 8 day park hopper passes + the water park option, and airline tickets both ways for the two of us)

We did not use our ‘piggy bank change’ to pay for the trip, but we will be using it for our spending money when we go to disney!

We’ve tried roling it but find that we are constantly emptying the rolled change becuase we think we may have miscounted.

My fiance will not bring it to one of those ‘change stars’ that they have at the grocery store b/c they take a % of your total

Will the bank take change?

The bank won’t count it out but once rolled you can take it there – to answer your header question.

The bank will take the change – to answer your last question.

For rolling, start with setting aside by counts of 10 (am assuming it’s pennies that makes you think you miscounted). It usually works for me.

Have fun on your vacation!!
