‘She counted it all by hand’: Penny-pincher cashes out $1000 of coins at the bank, depositing it handful after handful to avoid paying service fees, beating the bank at their own game

This dude was down on his luck financially but discovered a giant jug of loose change in his apartment. To make ends meet, he decided to cash it out at the bank, but they hid service fees up the yazoo that this man couldn't afford. Lucky for him, he had all the time in the world to maliciously comply. 

Remember those Coinstar coin-counting machines? When I was a kid, I was obsessed with them. My dad is a pay-in-cash kind of guy, yet was never one to get too attached to coins, so every day, he'd come home from work and empty the coins from his pocket into a bowl by the front door. Being the busy guy that he was, he would happily relinquish the bowl (and its monetary contents) to his kid daughter once it started getting too full—to save from the inconvenience. But for me, that bowl of coins was like a hidden treasure and I'd rush to the Coinstar and relish the clicking sound it made as it counted up my winnings. 

As a kid I never realized the machine takes a pretty big cut of the money as a 'service fee,' but the guy in this next story was well aware of the losses and could not afford a 10% fee. He needed every penny of his coin jar accounted for… Read on for the details of this penny-pinching malicious compliance that earned this hearty saver his money's worth.
