Counting Coins

Have you seen those fancy CoinStar kiosks that will count your change for you in grocery stores? They seem great (almost fun even!) until you read that they take about 10% of your money. Nice.

If you have a business account at Bank of America, you can turn in your coins there in special plastic bags (that they provide free of charge) and they will count your mixed coins for $4/bag. So load those bags up heavy. My Moosehead change jar was worth $651.88!

I’m sure most banks do this so ask before you get owned by CoinStar.
