Spare Change
Is there some place where you can dump loose change in a machine to be counted ? I think I've heard this before .. I got a pile of coins here ... gotta be a few plugs there ..

My local credit union has one. When I found out I was having a kid I started saving for his bank account. My 1st trip with change landed over $400 bucks. And the last couple of trips close to $100 each. Try to find a free one at a local bank. The 1st trip would have cost me 40 bucks. The hell with that.

I think I read somewhere that Stop n Shop has a coin-star machine and if you have their card (S&S) there is no fee, I would check before using it. I would check Shaws also because I can't remember which supermarket it was. Harbour one I have been told doesn't charge a fee either.

A few years ago, Bank of America did it for free for their customers.
You can give them a bag of unrolled coins and they'll deposit it into your account within a few days. With all the cost cutting, this may have changed.

Coin Star
Every year at Christmas my wife and I use the coin star and select gift certificates. If you choose gift certs from amazon, cabelas, bass pro etc there is no charge. If you just want the cash its like .09 on the dollar. At least a few family members a year get gifts from amazon that originated in the change jar.

This is exactly what we do. They have some good gift cards you can get. We usually do amazon. Not all machines have the gift card option and some have different ones so you have to do some checking. |

Tagga, call a TD Bank in your area and ask if they have a Coin Machine, as not all of them do. If they do, it is free to use by everybody at no-charge.
No wooden nickle please.  |

I'm cheap so I roll quarters and dimes (free rolls from the bank), and then dump the pennies and nickels into the coinstar machine. To me, it is worth the 9% to not roll the small stuff.
