Loose Change

[Anonymous]

What can I do with hundreds of dollars possibly a thousand worth the loose change? About 20 zip lock bags full ran one bag through coin star and it was $92 Two banks I have account with won’t take it unless it’s wrapped. Coin Star is 11.99% service change, they do offer an Amazon card at no fee any other thoughts or ideas?

Get the amazon card. When you use it, put the money you are now not using for those goods into your bank account.

Start wrapping!

We do Coinstar and get the Amazon card. I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon so this is the best option for us.

I also get the amazon card.

I just throw my coins in the trash at the end of every day.

The real question is, why are you hanging on to so much change?

I still use coin wrappers and take them in to the bank. I used to roll coins with my grandpa so I guess it's nostalgic for me, but I love it.

I was still writing my account number on the wrappers until about 2 years ago. The young person at the bank literally laughed at me for still doing so.

I liked when banks had counting machineses. These days they don’t want loose change so we use coinstar.

I organize a coin drive fundraiser for our school and I cash it in via Constar, get amazon credit for me and write a personal check for the amount. I easily use that amazon money in a few months.

Coinstar also offers other options beyond amazon if you want to divide it up a little: Best Buy, Home Depot, etc.

Same here. Each visit for us is usually about $175-$200

How do you even get coins?

I would throw them in a couple of tube socks in the case of home invasion.

Wegmans self checkout is relatively simple to pay with coins as there’s a little dish to dump them in. Also som Walmarts. It’s a little more fiddly at Giant, but doable if you hav the time.
