Coinstar machines — popular in grocery stores, drug stores and other retail locations — let you turn your loose change into paper currency. You dump in your change, the machine counts it up and typically feeds you a paper receipt which you can redeem for cash at a nearby cashier or register. Coinstar’s machines impose an 8.9 percent processing fee for their Coin to Cash program, but the Coin to Card program exacts no such fee — so you get the full value of your loose change. The machine will either spit out a gift card or a paper “eCertificate” instead. The eCertificate can then be used to buy products online. In addition to iTunes Music Store, Coinstar has redemption programs established with Virgin Digital, Borders, Hollywood Video, Amazon.com and other mass-market retailers.

I usually drag my quarters in to these machines once I have around 60-70 dollars worth of change to cash in that way its worth the 10-15 dollar charge since I am lazy and don’t want to actually count/roll these pennies. Now we don’t have to give them anything to recieve our loose change in gift certificates at iTunes and amazon……..BRILLIANT!!!!!!
