Looking to avoid the 11.9% fee some places charge.
Also looking to avoid if possible to sort them into rolls.

You can buy a coin sorter, but they are expensive, at that price it would probablake sense to pay the fee. But it's not that big of a deal to sort them. Shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours for a jug that size

-1

On Amazon you can find Manual Sorters for under $25 and Electric Sorters for under $50 (though there definitely are more expensive ones too).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

You belong to any CU's (credit unions)? Also some banks do it for free.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

I've done a few 5 gallon bottles back in the day with TD Bank where they took trum"mois and mass"rois, many times I came out ahead when sticking my hand in the coin return slot and pulling out piles of coins which some were mine and some others who never took out.
Have many rare coins sitting at home from those times.
 Remember going around in Brooklyn to 10 different TD banks so it should look suspicious why I have so much change and used the penny arcades which were an amazing counter.
   Once I was using the machine, while it was sorting it out  all my pennies came back after it counted it from under the machine, I called the workers to ask what's happening,but hey said oops we forgot to put a bag, the guy came with a vacuum cleaner and took care of that mess!
 
   I know ShopRite has or had such a machine I don't think you have to pay for it.

I've deposited coins (smaller quantity) in BoA branch. they bag it up and send of to counting, and you get credited once it counts

That's this;

At some locations you have to pay a fee even for gift cards. By me, ShopRite doesn't charge for gift cards, but Walmart down the block does charge

I'd roll the quarters myself and try to find a fee free gift card option for the rest.

They'd still need to spend hours sorting and rolling the quarters. I'd do fee free gift cards for the whole thing.
