    I love the Coinstar as well. I just wish they took less of a cut of my money.

    I agree....it's like a slot machine...I love seeing the seeing the balance grow!

    Its a ripoff to use the service (their rake is like 18%), but it beats rolling nickels and dimes into rolls!

    Exactly!! Yeah, they take a hell of a large cut, but it's soooooooooo worth it. I am not disciplined enough to put coins in rolls. It's SOOOOO much easier just going to Albertsons, emptying my change purse and then blow it on groceries!! I bought about $20 worth of stuff today for $2.16.

    Thanks!

    I use Commerce penny arcade. It doesn't charge and you don't need an account.

    A lot of the machines will give you the full amount if you take it in itunes, or amazon gift certificates. There are other choices too, but those are the main ones I use.

    I use it. :o If I were less lazy, I'd just count my money, change it at the bank and not lose a percentage of it... but I'm an idiot.
