You paid them 11 bucks to have them give you back 3 quarters and four pennies and some paper. Not to mention the pre-1978 pennies are worth more in copper weight. And if you dropped a solid silver quarter, that's like 3 bucks in silver-weight. So the time you save rolling your own vs. the maul-machine only makes sense if your hourly wage is like $98/hour. And if you put in a double-struck cent, they give you .9¢ for a $200 value coin. I am too efficient to use a Coin-Star.

The pile was too big, so I opted for this.

@georgef551 Sure, I understand, and that's why it pays to own a CoinStar, many folks opt for convenience. I would at least cherry-pick them first. I hold my fingers like a roll grip lengthwise, with a little shake coins align on edge. Pinch-lift the large, like quarters, then nickles, pennies, and you're left with dimes. While they're on edge glance at the color. Cherry-pick dimes & quarters with no copper stripe, and dark pennies. With a bit of practice, your box takes ten minutes.

This was a lot worse. I'm thinking of heading back to coin rolls again, so I can keep the 9.8% I have.

do they charge you

[georgef551]

@Multiheatfan3

No, if you donate it all to charity, yes, if you keep it, about 9.8%.

The coins runneth over, so this was easier to do.

@az123456789able1 and every week you throw away 9.8% of your wealth in precious metal. Examine your voucher closely - look at the Coin Fee line. That's how much they charge you, This "service" - "it ain't free!". I'd have to leave $100 in a certificate of deposit for ten years for the kind of return on investment you give them instantly for every dollar you drop in it.

Try this, Drop in four quarters and then punch out the voucher next week, you''ll have a voucher for 91 cents.
