So if he has 4,000 pennies, it will cost him $3.60.
4,000 pennies is 80 rolls. IF he's lightning fast and can roll two rolls a minute, it will take him 40 minutes.
Spending 40 minutes to save $3.60 is like working for $5.37/hour.
If his free time is worth more than $5.37/hour, pay the 9%!

All the grocery stores around here have 'em. No need to make a special trip anyplace. Just remember to haul the pennies next time you make a beer run.
Those counters are pretty fast, and darn entertaining to watch.
Oh, and he's already made a special trip to get more penny rolls. Bye-Bye profit
Also, if he uses a counter he will have a printed receipt proving the # of pennies! That's important in a high stakes contest like this.

I did see yours and was agreeing. 
Should have quoted you with a X2!
No way I'd roll thousands of pennies. I thought I only paid 7% - 8% to have my change counted, but I'd gladly pay 9% for all pennies.

They're my pennies, and I want all 100% of them!
I never liked the Stoner Machines, I can be pretty lazy, but not that lazy.
I'll swing by the bank and pick up a bunch of penny rolls tomorrow, should be finished by tomorrow night. As for how many, let just call it over 100 so far.
I'll take a photo of all the rolled pennies and any leftovers.
