Jesus Christ on a two-stroke engine moped, leaving aside the point that Dionysius Exiguus won't be coming up with the A. D. dating system for a few more centuries (and that Nero's name is in English)*, why in the name of gently caress would Nero base the year around the then-tiny Christian sect - whom he allowed to be the scapegoats for the fire in 64 and used as human tiki torches in his garden consequently -- dude was so mean to the Christians that even Tacitus, who didn't like Nero, though he'd gone too far with that one, and arrgghhhh

I'm hoping it's just a case of a lowly comics creator taking a chance to jerk off to the idea of a lowly comics creator being buried under an avalanche of money and once he gets it out of his system things will get better. I'm not saying that's what I believe will happen. Just hoping.

No, they don't. Most banks have coin sorting machines on hand for situations exactly like that. If you come in with a bunch of neatly rolled quarters then it all means is that you stuck a bunch of either slugs or lesser valued foreign currency in them. They'll have to waste time opening them up before dumping them in the machine, and nobody wants that. e: unless we're talking about some run-down branch on nowhere street, then they MIGHT not have one. That'd be the exception, though.

Do US banks not have coin bags? Do they not trust people to count, or do they think someone will work out the perfect alloy to make it weight the right amount without being worth more?

Never heard of those before today, but what do you expect will happen when somebody tries to deposit one and the weight is off? The teller's not going to stand there and count it up by hand, they'll just dump it into a sorting machine and see what's what. It's not like they're particularly expensive. I'm with Batuik on this one, if some old guy comes in with a sock full of a few hundred pennies then any branch worth their salt should be able to accommodate him.

The bags I've used are "£1 in pennies" and so on. They're for a number of coins (<100) of the same type, equal to a nice round number.
