 |
|
| So in my short time here I've amassed quite a few coins. Is there a way to roll them and exchange them for bills at a bank? I haven't seen any of the paper rolls anywhere, but I'd really like to get all of this change off my hands. |

| Banks have change counting machines. However, some machines cannot separate coin denominations so you should check first or separate your change first. |

I throw all of my coins in a piggy bank and exchange them at the bank every 6 months or so. It partially paid for my last vacation.
p.s. Sorry if I offended any muslims. |

| Should I just show up with coins in hand at any bank or is it at select locations. I feel like I've never seen any coin machines in banks. Are they attached to the ATMs in some way? |

They're not self-service machines. You have to go to one of the tellers. Any bank should have a counting machine. |

Say what? 
If you go to the bank, make sure you don't have any foreign coins in your jar of Korean money. Evidently I left an American quarter in mine, and it jammed up their machine  |

Why exchange the coins? Ive found out the Korean 100 Won coin works as a US quarter so I take all my 100 Won coins home with me in the summer!  |

While that is certainly awesome, I can't imagine finding enough things to buy from vending machines to make it worth it to hold on 20k won in 100 won coins. It's seriously a lot (inherited some from previous teachers and had to pay with big bills on the bus a couple of times). |

| If you live near a casino you could get your change turned into cash there. |

Do you also shoplift when you go back home?
The bank inside every post office will take your coins for you for free. |
