I hope the bank just resolves it easily, but if not, I'll have to eat it, and this erases the gains from several deposits.
How much are you depositing on each trip that $.75 "erases gains from several deposits"? Even if you're using a 1% cashback card for the coins (or you value 1 airline mile at 1 penny), if you deposit $75, that makes up for the 75 cents lost.

As aviators99 points out, they must take them. The coins are legal tender and you have an outstanding debt. See the FAQ regarding "My bank won't take my coin deposit..."

Yeah, I saw that and thought that it only took them 2 years to figure out that their "limits" didn't have any teeth. I have another question regarding the new "limit", but I won't post it here for everyone to see.
