We have a huge water bottle filled with coins and usually take it in to a coin star thing that counts it all for a fee like 9%. (about every 2 years) I was wondering if anyone has one for the home or uses one at work that is real good but not too pricey... I looked on ebay, sharper image, amazon, and frontgate. There are tons of them out there! I really don't want to spend over $80 but don't want a POS either. Any opinions on a good one? Thanks..

Some banks allow you to use their machines for free (I think Wachovia maybe?).

I got some generic one at Walmart for under $20. It's worked fine for putting a mayonnaise jar full of coins into, but YMMV with a water bottle full of coins.
