FREE coin counting is available at most locations in the United States if you convert your coins to a nationally-branded gift card (i.e. Amazon, iTunes, Home Depot, Applebee’s) or eCertificate. If you get cash back for your coins, we charge a 10.9% coin processing fee.
Counting and rolling coins can be a cathartic activity. My bank gives me free coin sleeves anytime I need them. I can’t imagine pouring good money into a faceless machine knowing you are going to lose 10% of it. Oh wait; i guess that’s better than pouring it into a gambling machine where you will lose 100% of it.
The Coinstar in our local Safeway charged $8.50 I was so mad we didn’t shop there for five years. When we started again I noticed the machine was gone.

My bank will just take my coins and count them and give me the equivalent back in cash without rolling them.

My Credit Union doesn’t charge a fee if you’re a member, 10% if you’re not. Credit Union, Si, Banks, no.
