How Do You Get Rid Of The Dollar Coins After Going Through Them?

RayNY2E · February 25, 2008 12:05PM

I Have a Few Local Places with The "Coin Star" Counting Machines. One of Them Was Free of Charge until Jan.1,2008. Now they Want 8% of what you dump in. To make matters worse, I Took the remains of 6 rolls of Monroe Dollars mixed with other pocket Change and Dumped it into the Coin Star Machine Today. Big Mistake!! The Manager told Me The Machine Does'nt "know how" to deal with these new Dollar Coins. I'm not sure if he's right or Not, but the Machine had to be opened up and Manually retrieve all the coins! What a Mess! Soo i guess i'm going to have to Roll them Again?? Just curious what others do with theirs. Thanks In Advance, Ray in Florida..

I have two banks in town with a coin machine. Free to members.

I share the wealth with them.

I pay tolls with them.

Ask you bank from some free wrappers and deposit them. Just don't go to the branch where you got the rolls from.

spend them I find that wal-mart cashiers flip out and don't know what they are LOL

I do my best to circulate them... Give them some personality... rub them on the carpet and put them in my old shoes ... Try to get some gunk on them. Then pay the pizza delivery guy in dollar coins.

Or play a lot of poker...

We have had an uderstanding with our banks for quite a while now, it works, the understanding is....any coins we get from you, you will never see them again....we take them back to the banks who won't get them for us!

Did they have a big sign up saying NO PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS? Anyone who would give a CoinStar machine 8% to count their change must have rocks in their head. Would you give a teller a $100 bill and ask for $92 in small bills? I didn't think so.

Use 'em to fill up the gas tank!

Bochiman · February 25, 2008 12:23PM

I spend them. What's wrong with that?
Go to McD's and spend 7 or 8 of them. Do the same at the grocery store, etc. It really isn't that hard unless you just go out and get boxes and boxes of them just to look for errors...in which case, I don't feel sorry for you

tmcsr69 · February 25, 2008 12:24PM

I spend them, give them to grand children when they visit and spread them around to different banks I have around the house. Most of them I try to make sure get into circulation.

If you do use CoinStar you can get 100% value in the form of gift cards for Amazon and other online stores.

I paid H&R Blockhead off with a few hundred........I was ticked that I had to pay this year.........

StrikeOutXXX · February 25, 2008 12:49PM

I just spend them a little at a time, but get rid of the bulk of them at the gas station. Filling up the beast $85 at a time makes it easy for the bulk of them. I did ask if they minded that many the 1st time I did it, and they don't they said they deposit just the same, and some customers like getting them in change.

If I do coinstar, I get gift certificates, or some machines have gift cards now so I don't pay any fees.

So essentially you are forced to spend them in a way that you probly didn't want to.

I take mine to Circus Circus. I guess the casinos are good for something.
No rolling and they could care less If you bring in 2-3 thousand at a time.

So living in Reno has more benefits than I had realized.

Snowman24 · February 25, 2008 12:53PM

i spend a good portion of them at Walmart on my way home from work.

I've dumped at one time over a hundred in the self-serve aisle once at walmart
it went by very quick

other places are the PO, Burger King, local grocery stores, and the girlfriend uses them on her bus ride
they dont care when i hand them out - i guess all my stops are use to them
