Take 'em to a bank? Doesn't work, at least in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
I have around $100 worth, rolled and wrapped. A few years ago there was a penny
shortage. One local bank offered a $5 gift certificate at a local restaurant
for $50 worth of pennies. Being a DA, I didn't turn mine in. Now I wish I had.
So, any suggestions

Gee,
In my country (the U.S.A.), pennies are legal tender. A bank doesn't
have any choice but to take them. It may be different with other
institutions such as a savings and loan or a credit union, but a
national bank is required to honor the currency. A penny is currency.
