heres how to still enjoy coinstar and not lose nearly as much money:
count out your quarters by hand! and roll them. then dump the remainder in the machine.
Why take it to a coinstar and have a % of your money taken out? Take it to your bank where you will get it all.

My bank won't count loose change. You have to roll it yourself and there is a limitation on how many rolls they will take per transaction.
damn, thanks for reminding me about my change stash! I was broke before but now I got $125 and can buy some foooooooood!!! yay!
(being broke sucks).
You also reminded me of another cash stash.... cigar box. That's about $40 in there! niiiiiiice.

My dad had two industrial size buckets FULL OF PENNIES that he accumulated over the roughly 15 years he owned his store, and I took them to my local Coinstar in 2001 to cash them all.
I had two of my friends help me cash all those in, and wound up overfilling one Coinstar at one gorcery store, took the rest to another Coinstar where it felt like we were coming close to doing the same thing.
The results? 50,000 PENNIES. Unfortunately, the accumulated taxes wound up taking about 50 bucks, but 450 dollars was not at all a bad take (and it's actually a small price to pay for avoiding rolling them up by hand). It took half the day to do it, but it was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We took pictures, and I'll see if I can post em' up.
Good times.

Yeah, that would look real good walking into a bank with two massive laundry detergent buckets filled to the brim with pennies, accompanied by the words 'I'd like to cash these." 
Yes, they take tax, but it's more of a convenience fee than anything else. It doesn't make much sense to use it when you only have a handful of change, but when you have such a ridiculous amount of coins to cash in, I'd much rather get hit with the tax then spend the next three weeks rolling them up. 
wow, you guys have shitty banks. i bring bags of unrolled coins to my bank all the time.
Yeah - wtf? I've never heard of a bank that won't count change for people with accounts.
You guys all just have gimp banks. 
coins for chronic? Hahhaa.

Yeah, that reminds me. I need to take my coins in tommorrow.
Coinstar's a ripoff. Go to your bank and they won't take a %.

| Originally posted by Paradox Lost I don't believe that California banks accept loose change, and require them to be in rolls before they can be traded for bills. So its more like a gimp state than gimp banks. |
