Turn Your Coins into Books
Apparently you cannot get your change made into dollars at a bank without fee anymore. Who knew? (Apparently Ned). Coinstar to the rescue. You can turn your coins into e-certificates for vendors like Amazon.com or Borders/Waldenbooks even give your change to charity. That’s cool.
Send to Kindle

This is good to know, not that I turn change in very often, but they have a nice selection of gift cards available.

Good Lord! We all save our change and turn it in periodically for something we are saving for as a family (trips mostly). Last time we rolled and turned the the coins the bank told us to just bring the loose change and they would put through their machine (like in Vegas) and all for no charge. Thanks for the heads up that we will be charged next time. Much as it would be tempting to get books, I like the idea of donating to a charity.
