Rolled coin deposits, Coinstar

October 20th, 2005 at 09:06 pm

I was going to be near the credit union today, so I took a few rolls of coins ($21) and a rebate check ($5) to deposit. It seems every time I take coins in, the tellers act puzzled that I'd bother with such a small deposit. And they always assume I want to trade the coins in for cash (so that I can make more coins?). I find the whole thing interesting...and a little telling. Maybe so many people are in debt because they just can't be bothered with making small deposits? Or rolling their own coins?

That said, if you shop at Amazon, Pier1, Starbucks, Linens & Things, or Hollywood Video, CoinStar might be the way to go. If you opt to receive a gift card instead of cash, your coins will be counted for free:
