When Did Banks Stop Accepting Coin Deposits?

I have been working hard on building my emergency fund, so I figured I would finally cash in my coins.

My credit card was a SonyCard, which gave me points to get free Sony electronics. This was a win-win for me because I love electronics and I love being able to “afford” the things I want. This card was the beginning of a long journey that I will never forget.
