    TLDR: Nobody wants them, not even the banks. Offered for sale at $25,000 (which is the supposed melt value), but no takers so far.

    Banks don’t want it and they don’t want to use CoinStar for the 8% cut. It’s literally found money, so take the cash. Or look and see if there is a rare coin or to. I’m sure a rare coin dealer would be quite interested in some of that too.
