I just counted all my coins! $252.14 worth! but where to spend it?

[magicfame]

took me a good hour+ to count all my coins with the help of my little sister. any ideas on where to spend it? cash it through coinstar? they charge a hefty fee of 8.9%! i heard Commerce bank in NYC has these coin machines for no service fees but do i have to be a customer?

roll it yourself, it's good practice for ummm... nevermind.

I've always wondered what happens if you put exactly one dollar worth of coins in coinstar. Does it give you back 91 cents in coins? 😉

in texas any bank i got to will cash your coins. If you bank with them, it is free, otherwise, maybe a 2% charge.

Maybe it is different in nyc?

No, the machines print out a slip-thing, that you then take to one of the store's cashiers ( I think) then they give you the money.

Don't you get a receipt then go to the cashier to get your money? EDIT: Yeah, I'm slow.

OP: Gradually spend it at self checkouts. Then you won't lose any money!

Um, wrap them with coin rolls and bring it to the bank to cash it??

I believe they do it for free, never charged me when I used to do it.

You sound about, eight years old, so I doubt they'll take money from you.

Yes! Thats what I just did a couple of days ago. I felt like a totaly cheapass/retard though. Oh well, the machine doesn't care.

I did it once. There was a line of people, and after a while it stopped working. Either there's a limit on how many coins you can use or I clogged it up.

Have your mommy or your daddy take it to the bank with them and open you an account.

Strip club. Instead of singles, throw fistfuls of change at the stage. If they're smart they'll catch on quick and stick around regardless, $250 is $250. Or maybe that's if they're dumb and don't degrade easy.

Come to think of it, if you are throwing 50c rolls, maybe they're just concussed.
