I have a dollar coin on my calculator. It probably doesn’t make any difference, but it can do no harm and if I never need a dollar, I always know where I can get one !

It needs to be a bank that you already have an account at branch or chain of banks.Call them first (I did) to see if they also want your account number written on them as well.

Yeah you can, you’ll probably be asked to put them in rolls. Just go by the bank and ask for some rolls to do it at home. You can take it to the Coinstar machines too, the only thing is that they take a percentage of whatever you make (not that much though).

I live in Illinois and I was wondering how much money it would cost to convert coins into cash. You can use an actually price (example: $1.00) or you can use a percent (example 10% of money you convert). I’m going to use the machine in Wal-Mart. Also, if you’re not EXACTLY sure, just tell me what you had to pay.

[...] to thank Jonathan at MyMoneyBlog for highlighting the recent Coinstar holiday promotion. I am a big fan of putting my spare change in a jar each day and depositing this when it reaches a sizable amount. As I was reading MyMoneyBlog one [...]

My husband and I also put our change into a jar every day, and about every three months when the jar is full (usually about $125!) we take it to a nearby branch of Commerce Bank. We used to use Coinstar, but then I learned that Commerce offers no-fee coin-cashing to anyone, even if you are not a Commerce customer! Unfortunately Commerce is not a nationwide chain – they have banks in NY, NJ, CT, PA, and FL only.

Coinstar machines charge you money to change your money. There are many better ways of getting rid of your change. You can even use a vending machine.

This “coins to cash” thing always rubbed me the wrong way. I’ve never been a fan of Coinstar, and I’d never pay them 8.9% to count up my coins. Their marketing is very effective because they’ve somehow gotten people into thinking that coins are no longer viable legal tender.

Let’s back up a moment and think about language here. Aren’t “coins” considered to be “cash” by definition? Since when are coins not acceptable as legal tender, for all debts public and private? I’ve had half a mind to bring in a big jar of coins to pay for my groceries just to protest the Coinstar machine. If they refuse my money, I could claim discrimination…

Gift cards, as you have written before, are not cash either. You stated that they routinely sell for 10% less than face value. In any case, when you compare this “counting fee” versus what you get at the bank, that is nearly 3 years worth of interest that you are losing out on.

If Coinstar wishes to be truthful, they ought to change their slogan to “turn your cash into a voucher or gift card that is worth less than you put in”.

That’s the way to do it my man – i’m with you all the way! I used Coinstar last month and it pumped me out one healthy $ voucher!

I can’t remember all the way (i guess i should check my blog posting on it), but i believe i got back like $200-ish.

very sexy indeed!
