I had accumulated a bunch of coins and wanted to convert them to cash. Citizens wouldn't do it unless they were rolled. Bank of America had a cumbersome process where they sent coins off and credited back on your account. The coin counting machines in the stores all charge 8-10% fee for immediate cash back.

But, the machines in Winn-Dixie will let you trade in your coins for face value gift cards to various businesses, restaurants, and online merchants. I chose an Amazon gift card and just used it online with no problem. A thrifty alternative to paying those "cash-in" fees.
