I found years ago the best thing to do is to buy the plastic tubes on Amazon. You can get the sleeves from the bank for free and roll your own coins. It's very easy to do and quite quick. And then bring the rolls to the bank (or spend them).

Shoprite on Marin too, last I checked.

Amazon card! No fee! Everyone should know this

Last time I went there this machine did NOT do Amazon gift cards.... had to do a Starbucks credit instead in order to avoid paying the 79% fee

Ah that sucks. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve got a jar ready to go myself

check the link posted below. If you click on the COIN SERVICES and then No Fee eGift Card link it should tell you if Amazon is available at that location

Don't give it to a place that charges you 10%

Don't pay to spend your own money.

At last check (years ago), you can redeem your coins at Coinstar and get an Amazon gift code without the fee. A good deal if you were going to spend that money anyway. (there are other retailers, too - but none were as broad as Amazon)

double check teh machine before loading up the change. the last time i did the Coinstar at the Shoprite on Marin it did NOT do Amazon

This is correct. Each Coinstar has different output vendors. If you want Amazon you need to check. You can use their website here to find a kiosk near you and check what its options are.

Roll it yourself and save 10%. BUT you can also transfer it to a gift card for 100% (I think). Shoprites.

Its very good that you collect your change, you know how many people I see toss their change on the floor ? I have collected so much money it’s not even funny.

I remember another one at Stop&Shop at 400 Marin Blvd, close to Newport.

Just a note that coinstars are unpredictable. They often go offline --maybe when they fill up? And then you hauled your heavy bucket of coins and have to take it back home. When I've used it, it was only after checking first and then going home to get my stash.

If you're willing to get payment in an amazon gift certificate, they waive the fee(at least the last time I did this 4 years ago) .

Get some of those paper coin rolls and bring it to the bank. Any coin counting machine is going to take a % if you want cash, or offer gift cards.
