Various commercials, radio and tv, about the things Other Banks do, from fees for questions, fees for borrowing the counter pen, fees for reciepts, stapling barcodes on your forehead ("i hate when these wont scan!"), et.c. marginally amusing to most adults...
I've never run into a problem spending $1 bills, but the days of bringing large amounts of coins to the bank seems to be over. Years ago I could bring a bucket of coins and my bank would pour them into a machine and then deposit the total amount. Now they no longer even have the machine, and tell me to roll them myself (they do give me the paper rolls) and then I can deposit them. I have a large plastic container on my dresser with a slot cut into the lid of the container. Whenever I have change in my pocket I drop the coins into the container. The last time I rolled the coins I had about $300 worth. Now I am using an even bigger container which is more than half full and I intend leaving it to my kids as part of their inheritance, and they can go to the effort of rolling them up.

My brother did that with a 5gallon waterjug, took a dolly to move it, the bank dident want it, iirc it wasent enough for the dizzyland trip for the kids
I use both banks and credit unions. When I amass enough change I take it to the credit union where it is auto counted and deposited directly into my account. CAVEAT: I do this only with pennies (pre-1979) and nickels, as the counter has about a 1 percent wobble rate. Quarters and dimes are counted and rolled at home, and bought to a main bank branch.
I understand that banks are charging 10% or some such amount for depositing rolled coins into your bank account. I remember during the Chinese Wuhan Virus attack; the banks were soliciting coins because of a shortage.
It started out as Bank America after the sale it became Bank of America. Before Visa cards it was Bank America Card
"Bank of America will continue to accept all currency despite previous reports that claimed the bank and several other major retailers were going to stop accepting damaged $1 bills as part of an effort to crack down on counterfeit currency."

I guess it all depends on who you want to believe. Personally, anytime something comes up that doesn't make common sense. I do some background checks and usually find several conflicting report.

Contrary to previous reports, the bank will accept all currency.

How well I remember the card operations center in San Francisco. Took up the entire 8th floor of the building. Imagine that!
Actually if you go back far enough it was originally The Bank of China. It was founded in San Francisco.

Jimbo, I post what I find, whether I like it or not. If you have contradictory evidence, please post it for our edification. Seriously.
No. It was originally The Bank of Italy. AP Giannini started it to serve the Italian immigrants in the San Francisco area. The Giannini family controlled it until it was sold to the North Carolina organization. I was raised in San Francisco for a time. I worked for the bank when the Giannini's controlled it.
I thought I had, seriously.
My local bank's ATM will dispense $1, $5, $20 and $50 bills, but no tens. My other local bank won't cash in change. They have a coin machine in the lobby and you put your coins in it and it spits out a receipt. You take the receipt to the teller and they will give you your cash minus a fee (a % of the total) for service.
I mis-read your post. Sorry. That does indeed put a different view on the matter. Guess we'll see how it plays out.
I am not excited about their "cashless future." 
Got to dig deeper. The Bank of America Los Angeles was formed from the merger of several banks including the Bank of China ( there were several unaffiliated Bank of Chinas throughout the US at one time or another).
The merger was put together by an Italian American.
Later BofA, L A merged with the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. They became Bank of America National Trust.
Yes, the BofA LA merged with Giannini's bank. I do not know if the LA bank acquired a Bank of China. I am not disputing what you have written.
Wow!
Are you saying that the Bank of America makes its employees stay after-work and off0-the-clock (just like Wal-Mart?) to identify, gather, package, ship, document the return of worn dollar bills?
Or have you never run a business?
Employee time to complete a task IS money.
