Coinstar rules. Before getting dinner at Burritoville in San Anselmo tonight, Jen and I stopped by our local Mollie Stone’s to cash out a bag (my green purse, actually) of coins I’ve had since college. I had previously separated out just about all the quarters for laundry usage. But even after that, we had a hell of a lot more cash than I realized. I had guessed we’d have about 5 or 6 bucks’ worth. Boy, was I ever off. Here’s the final tally:
-
Quarters: 3
Dimes: 327
Nickels: 225
Pennies: 1,582
Total: $60.52
*Processing Fee: $5.39
Total Payout: $55.13
Not too shabby for a purse-full of pennies, eh? Don’t take your spare change for granted. It could buy you dinner some day.
*Coinstar charges 8.9 cents on the dollar.
