Interesting. Maybe thats an American thing because in Canada they were calling for people hoarding pennies to bring them in because they were actually worth 1.4 cents in copper.

I would bet coinstar took this as a marketing opportunity and had their goons there to unload periodically.

Having your goons unloading all over your customers doesn't sound like very good marketing at all.

i think they take like 8%! i cringe at the thought of anyone ever using one of those machines.

Can you offer an alternative?

Besides rolling the coins myself.

for ~$1150, I'd buy one of those home machines that counts and puts them in rolls automatically. It would probably take the whole day.. but it'd be worth it IMO.

my bank does what coinstar does for free

Actually, they take 8.9%, or from this guy, they took $1,164.53.

Someone should just go to banks with $20,000 and get change in pennies. That'd be grimey.

Re: Man cashes in $13,000 in pennies at coinstar.
 

Are you kidding, you could get a machine for $15 that'll do it for you.

It would take some time, but not $1000 worth of time.

as long as u r not doing a [censored] load at once, u can easily roll coins when u r watching tv or something.
