How do you get coins out of a glass bank without smashing it?

Use a flat knife with no ridges, and be careful!\nSlide it through the coin slot and flip your bank upside down.\nI have a beautiful glass piggy that was my sons at birth and didnt want to break it, I managed to get out a good majority of the coins this way!\nGood Luck! :)

Yes, get a gun, get a car, and then go to a bank... When you get there, load the gun and exit the car... Walk into the bank... Scream, "I've got a gun you quivering sacks of shit! Gimme all the money you got!"... Then shoot the guard to let them know your serious... As soon as you get the money run to the car and speed away as fast as possible... Sure fire fast money...\n\n(Any and all statements are purely humurous and by no means serious... So don't rob a bank, unless you like money)

rub it with a coin,\nif its gold, a soft metal,\nit should make an indent.\n\nif it is flaky, its fools gold.\n\nand here's a real simple test,\nif they are selling them dirt cheap, they are prob fake.\n\ntoo, what are the chances that a man walked into a mine, picked up some gold ( I am sure that a gold mine is guarded) \nand then managed to get it out of the country, \nand after all that, wants to sell it to you?

Totally agree. Of all the coins I always have pennies laying around and I never take them back into the bank because I don't want to take the time to count them and package them. That is the reason they want to get rid of them. People horde them and because of the cost of making a penny it really isn't worth it in the long run.

There a many commercially availible coin counters out there, check your favorite search engine (or old school phonebook!).  \n\nIf all you want is the sensor I recomend contacting a vending machine supply/repair company for one.\n\nIf you want to make your own from scratch, just use a laser and a photo-detecter.  Have the laser hitting the photodectector and wire your electronics to count up the interuptions of the detector.

What worked for me:\nYou'll need paper rolls to pack the coins into.  They are very inexpensive at office supply stores.  Banks may give them away free of charge. Penny rolls hold 50 pennies each.\n\nGet a movie to watch while you sort, count, and roll. You can buy all sorts of toys (uh, I mean tools) that will help you. But that all costs money, decreasing the final amount of money that goes into your pocket.\n\nI called my bank and told them how much I had in change and asked them if they would accept the rolled coins.  They told me that if I put a personal identifier on each roll, they would accept the entire amount.  (I think this was an arbitrary requirement imposed by a teller who didn't want to deal with $400 in change, so make sure you ask your bank for specifics.)\n\nOther option that I couldn't force myself to do:\nCoinstar: No counting, stacking, rolling, or identifying. They will also charge a fee of 8.9% which I find unacceptably high, but you get to make that choice for yourself.  They might be running a no-free promotion somewhere. The Coinstar website has a kiosk locator.

You can't. There are no $2 coins

find a coin collector.

Usually none will exchange coins. You need to convert then to banknotes before you exchange them, and that is not easy. Is it a lot of money? Give them to someone that will go to Switzerland or donate them.

Put a rubber stopper or a lid on the glass jar.  You can turn the jar anyway you like, nothing will fall out.

Pretty much anything that's kind of small. Rip off the top of a matchbook and fold it. Coins are good. They make kind of a metallic sound.

You need two different kinds of metal. Copper is easy for one. The other can be almost any non-copper metal. Simple trial and error should show you a good choice. \n\nTry: nails, silverware, pointy tools (screwdrivers), bits of metal from craft or hobby jobs, coat hangers, etc. You can even jam coins in there!

rub the paper on your arm until it burns you. the paper will be undamaged.\n\nthere is also an old trick where you stretch a dollar across your hand, and someone tries to burn a hole in the dollar. It will burn your hand, but not the dollar because moisture from your hand is drawn to the paper.

take out the sempron and celeron then flip a coin

Just use something like a plucker (actually something fine enough to grip the card while it is in the slot, if you have long nails, that may do as well!!) and take the card out.

make sure whatever you wash it with doesn't get between the chip and the card.\n\nCoke may dissolve whatever kind of glue holds it on.
