OT Wish I had thought of this. Is there a charge to use Coinstar? Yes. Coinstar charges an 8.9% processing fee in the United States, a 9.8% processing fee in Canada, and a 7.5% processing fee in the U.K. For our United States customers, this means you'll pay approximately 9 cents for every dollar of coins counted. Our customers tell us they are willing to pay a small service charge for the convenience and time-savings of not having to sort, count, roll and haul their coins to the bank. It costs 7.5% only in the UK. Here in the US it will cost you 8.9%. That's pretty close to what I pay in sales tax. Coinstar was started by a local boy Jens Molbak. He also owns one of the largest greenhouses on the West Coast that happens to be located in my town. Coinstar gives a lot of money to good charities. They call their charitable giving "Coins that Count". I think robv is entertaining, but being a really good looking girl, I consider him kind of a jerk. ;) M google.com
