Cointstar == Book Magic!

Blog

Many of us have a big jar of coins at home. My jar was a Hansen’s Grape juice (originally purchased at the Trader Joe’s on 9th and Harrison in SF in 2002). Over the last 3 years I’ve been filling that jar and finally topped it off. Now, rolling this into coin rolls would be a distinctly un-fun and laborious affair. Likewise, Coinstar takes an 9% cut out of what you bring in….until now!

Coinstar recently partnered with some major e-tailers such that they will waive their tax and give you 100% provided you convert your coins into the goods of an e-tailer….including Amazon. Now amazon sells everything, so why not go with them.

So I took my voucher for $180.00 last night and went a bit nuts. Here is the product of my mania.
