In my area, Coinstar charges 10% service fee to exchange coins to cash. How can doing coin roll hunting pay off if you have to pay a service fee in the end to dump the coins? Just trying to understand the logic here.
You can bring self-rolled coins to the bank to exchange for cash for no fee. Just don't try to unload $1k worth of half dollars because they will NOT like that.
Most of the time I find Canadian coins and sometimes coins from Mexico and England, is there a place where I could take random foreign coins to be cashed into American money?
Not that I know of. You could sell them on ebay, save them for your next trip, or a local coin shop may give you a little for them.
I'm sure it depends upon what neck of the woods you're in, but there are numerous banks up here that have free coin counting machines for bank members. They'll take any US coinage as well, tossed a couple SBAs in there the other day, and sure enough it worked.
I always tell my wife to check the coinstar... she usually doesn't. Today she did. 3 quarters 5 nickels 10 dimes 33 cents 1 Canadian quarter a 50 and 20 pence from GB and 2.55 euros
Back to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner and found the following: 2 zincolns 1 1963 Roosevelt dime - silver, thank God almighty silver at last!
