Banks having ways to input change
It was bothering me today that I can go to the supermarket and put money into the changestar machine and it will credit me with 85% of the change that I dump into it for use in buying my groceries. BUT if I want to deposit change into my local Bank of America bank account I need to roll the change into these stupid change rolls. Why doesn't retail banking in ATM machines or within banks have a section where you dump your change into a container to deposit it. If banks want lifetime customers maybe they should start with folks like Madeline at age four or so. If I had a bank I'd put a change depositor machine into the mix and make a big deal of it in my advertisements to show that we care and we innovate.

Hey, Dan.... the Cape Ann Savings Bank here in Gloucester has just installed a change-counting machine for benefit of its customers, available without charge (and with a 10% charge for others). If this tiny bank is doing this now, B of A could be ready to follow suit maybe by 2012!
