I would have thought so too.
But it's probably yet another one of those things that seem to be a certain way, until you push the envelope a bit and find out the real truth.
I know that in Canada a bank took, very grudgingly, $850. in coins that I had rolled and I was told that if it had been a 'business account' there would have been a charge of $.50 per roll!
But the banks are also now starting to try to charge people using personal accounts for both depositing and withdrawing money, even as the process involves far fewer people and far more computer-only interaction!
cheers
>I was not aware that ANY U.S. merchant (let alone the mint) can legally refuse to accept legal forms of tender. I think there is an old law somewhere (leftover from the civil war era when all merchants had to accept the only legal forms of tender following the war) that states they must. Technically, he should be able to buy a candybar and give all pennies as legal tender and get change back (albeit a lot of change).
