PNC Bank no longer provides coin-counting machines in its branches. They discontinued the use of coin counters in April 2016. However, you can still deposit coins into your PNC account at your local branch. For coins totaling $10 or more, you’ll need to wrap them and you can request wrappers at any PNC branch.

Where can I cash coins for free?
I can help with that. Most banks offer free coin exchange services to account holders, though you may need to roll coins yourself. Self-service coin-counting machines are more commonly found at local banks and credit unions than at national banks.
Can I take bags of coins to the bank?
We just ask that you separate the coins into full bags that contain only one type of coin. If you have a large number of coins to deposit, please call your local branch first to see if they are able to accept them.
