A coin counter at a bank is a machine that automatically counts and sorts loose coins, providing a convenient way to deposit or exchange coins for cash. Simply pour your coins into the machine, and it will tally the total amount, often issuing a receipt that you can take to a teller for credit to your account or cash payout. Some banks offer this service for free, while others may charge a small fee.
