Coinstar
Decided to cash in a big coin jar that sat on the kitchen table. I didn’t like using coinstar because they charged counting fees (8.9c per dollar). They still charge the same fee, but if you decide to take a “Amazon.com” gift certificate instead of cash, there is no counting fee. Now, that is a good deal. Here is what the receipt said:
Coin | Number counted |
Dollars | 7 |
Half-Dollars | 1 |
Quarters | 202 |
Dimes | 868 |
Nickels | 339 |
Pennies | 1196 |
For all the coins that we collected during our 5 years in Michigan, the total came out to be $173.71. Good enough amount to apply towards buying a camera lens from Amazon.com.
