I agree about the time thing, that's not much different than other transactions like people bringing in wads of money. However the coin counting machine whether it's a necessity or not still does not pay for itself and I don't think that every customer at the bank should have to cover that cost because of the small number of customers that bring in coins. It reminds me of when I worked at a convenience store/gas station and people would bring in a bag full of pennies to pay for their gas claiming that I had to accept it because it was valid currency... we made them count it out on the side counter, it wasn't our job to count their money and you certainly don't want to trust someone that they already counted it.
