Need a roll of quarters for laundry, parking meters, or vending machines? In 2025, banks are still one of the most reliable places to get quarters—but there are a few rules and things to know before you go. This guide explains bank policies, what to bring, and alternatives if your bank can’t help.
Can You Still Get Rolls of Quarters at the Bank?
Yes. Most banks and credit unions continue to offer rolls of quarters, usually in $10 increments (40 quarters per roll). Some banks may ask that you be an account holder, while others will exchange bills for coins even if you don’t have an account.
What You’ll Need
- Cash to exchange: Bring $10 or more in small bills to swap for a roll of quarters.
- ID: Some banks may ask for ID, especially if you don’t have an account.
- Account status: If you’re a customer, getting quarters is almost always free and easy.
Limits & Fees
Banks generally don’t charge for rolls of quarters, but limits can apply. Smaller branches may only provide 1–2 rolls at a time if demand is high. Larger banks may allow bulk orders if you need a significant amount of change.
Alternatives to Banks
If your bank can’t provide quarters, or you need them after hours, these alternatives can help:
- Grocery stores: Customer service desks often make change or sell quarter rolls. See our full guide on the best places to get quarters.
- Coin counters: Publix and other stores have coin machines where you can convert loose change into cash (minus a fee). Learn more in our Publix Coin Counter guide.
- Laundromats & car washes: Many still have change machines that accept $1 or $5 bills for quarters.
- Check-cashing stores: Some money service providers offer change services along with check cashing.
Pro Tips for Getting Quarters in 2025
- Call ahead—some branches have limited coin supply.
- Visit mid-week—Mondays and Fridays are busiest for coin demand.
- Keep small bills on hand—makes exchanging smoother.
- Consider prepaid laundry cards—some apartment complexes and laundromats are switching away from quarters.
