Coin Falls
When I'm buying something, I tend to use a credit card. It's easier to keep track of expenses when you put it on a card and it's often faster too.
But there are those times when cash is preferable. I try to use cash at smaller stores, to give them a break on the merchant fees, and at places when cash might be faster, like farmer's markets and festivals. When you use cash, you tend to get a few coins back. I usually stick them in my pocket and then toss them in a box when I get home.
Eventually, that box gets full. And I need to turn it into something useful. The quarters usually go into the car, which for some reason I think needs quarters even though we have EZPass and I probably haven't fed a parking meter in over a decade. Actually, the quarters usually go to the fire department holding boots at intersections or a sports team looking to raise money.
When it gets really really really full, I go to Coinstar.

Do you know how much Coinstar charges you to count coins?
11.9%!
ELEVEN POINT NINE PERCENT!!!
That's insane!
Here are some cheaper ways to get your coins counted:
Get Your Kids to Count Them!
Ha! This tip is like those clickbait articles that tell you there's one secret way to do something and it turns out the secret is some BS answer.
Kids are expensive and while Coinstar will charge you 11.9%, my son will do it for free!

Take that Coinstar!
(Disclaimer: Kids are expensive so don't go having kids so you can get cheaper coin-counting)
Finding Banks with Free Coin Counting
Banks used to offer free coin counting way way way back in the day.
TD Bank used to have a “Penny Arcade” where you'd dump in the coins and they would count them for you. Then there were questions of the counting accuracy, TD Bank got sued, and they “reassessed” their offering. Supposedly, if you counted $300 in coins (that's a TON of coins!), it could be off by as little as a nickel to as much as $43.10!
Sadly, coin counting machines aren't that accurate and a lot of banks don't want to deal with that headache… especially since fewer and fewer people are counting coins.
Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, Capital One, TD Bank, PNC Bank, BB&T, and many other national banks do not offer coin counting. 🙁
The last major bank that offered free coin counting was BB&T but they took down their machines last year. Nowadays, you have to look for a smaller local bank or credit union – that's simply too difficult for us to maintain a list.
That said, if you wrap the coins in those coin wrappers, banks will accept them as long as you don't bring an “unreasonable” amount.
Ways to Use Coinstar for Free
Coinstar will charge you that absurd 11.9% fee if you want the money back in bills (and coins).
There are other ways to get paid that do not incur that sizable fee.
Convert to an Amazon Gift Card
Coinstar will give you your funds as an Amazon gift card for no fee. They used to offer all kinds of gift cards, from movie theaters to Home Depot, but now it's just Amazon.com.
The only rule is that the eGift Card has a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $1,000. By the way, if you have $1,000 in change, you're insane.
The eGift card prints like a regular coin receipt except there's the gift card number on it. You can apply it to your account at Amazon.com.
Donate it
You can donate all of your coins to one of the charities Coinstar has partnered with:
- American Red Cross
- Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
- Feeding America
- The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
- The Humane Society of the United States
- The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
- United Way
- World Wildlife Fund
For Laughs: Check the Coinstar for mistakes
Remember how TD Bank was allegedly not great at counting coins? It's because counting coins is hard. Coins get stuck, coins get missed, and sometimes they misclassified as non-coins. When you use a Coinstar, regular coins fall through the cracks. Or get stuck in the cracks.
So one enterprising gentlemen started checking Coinstars for errors… he goes to random Coinstar machines and checks them for missed coins, stuck coins, and other hangups.
When Coinstar counts change, sometimes it doesn't read a coin right and it spits it down at the bottom. With all the noise of counting, a person dumping coins may miss the loud clang when a coin falls through. So you can check the coin collection at the bottom to see if one fell through!
Coins can get stuck inside the machine at various points due to dumb (un)luck.
You won't get rich doing this but I'm going to start sending my kids over to the machine while we check out because they'll be far more jazzed about finding a nickel than I will be.

Find Out How Much Your Coins Are Worth
The most frequent question asked by collectors is, “what are my coins worth?” It’s one of the most fundamental coin-related inquiries we receive at the Professional Numismatists Guild.
As part of our broad commitment to education about coins, it’s our pleasure to help you determine the value of your coins. In partnership with Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, we provide an incredibly useful tool – the NGC Price Guides.
If your coins are in good condition, they could possibly be worth a sizeable amount of money. Just click the links below and you can find out the market value of any U.S. or World coin, including yours.
The Price Guides are simple to use. Just follow these easy steps:
Click Here to Access the NGC U.S. Coin Price Guide
Click Here to Access the NGC World Coin Price Guide
- Click on the denomination of your coin. For example, Nickels:
- Click on the date range your coin falls under. In this case, the nickel is a 1930, so it’s within the 1913-1938 date range.
- The 1930 nickel shown has no mintmark, so once you arrive at the Buffalo Five Cents (1913-1938) page, scroll down to 1930.
Across the menu bar at the top of the page, you’ll notice the grades you can reference, beginning to the right of the eBay link.
Along with rarity, the coin’s grade (condition) is the key factor in determining its value. In the example, a 1930 Nickel with a grade of MS-63 is currently worth about $75.
(Note that the prices shown are forcomparison only and neither NGC nor PNG is bound to their accuracy.)
Coins are graded on a scale of 1 to 70, 70 being a perfectly struck coin with no wear. That’s what the grading numbers on the coin page’s menu bar refer to. [Visit the Grading Scale topic under Coin Grading on the NGC website for an explanation of what the grades mean.]
- If your coin is not in really good condition, it will likely not grade at 55 or higher. You can click on the $ sign button (upper right) to get a wider range of grades. Once you click on the dollar sign button, you will see a full range of grades in the menu bar to the right of the eBay link:
Unless your coin is in really good or uncirculated condition, the chances are it fits into one of these lower grades and corresponding price ranges.
- When you have finished looking up your coin’s price, just click the Return to PNGdealers.org link at the top left to return to the PNG site.
What if you’re fortunate enough to have a coin that is rare and sought-after by collectors?
Some coins, such as the 1937-D 3-Leg Buffalo Nickel [pictured to the right]are quite valuable, even in low grades. If you find a coin like this, you should do two things:
1)Give a PNG member dealer a call and discuss what you have.
2) Unless the dealer tells you otherwise, have the coin graded and authenticated by NGC. Having coins graded and certified can increase their value, in some cases dramatically.
For more detailed information about a coin and its history, you can click on any applicable link on the Price Guides.
There is a wealth of information about how and why coins are graded on the NGC website. Pay particular attention to the Grading Scale topic.
