Absolutely. Just take your coin to any casino. They will be happy to count it and give you cash back for it. No charge. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any casino closer to The Villages than Hard Rock in Tampa.

Love it. Two dollar bills have an interesting history.

Vystar CU has coin machines in their lobbies. I haven't used them so I don't know if there is a surcharge or not. I know some coin machines will give full value if you select an electronic gift card. There was one near our house in Virginia that had Amazon cards. Since we buy stuff from Amazon, it seemed like the best option. The machine's website listed what gift card options were available at different locations. In the last four years, I have probably only gotten a handful of coins so not a problem any more.

Cashless looked like a takeover but now that fees are so high, people are charging extra fees to use a credit card and are asking for cash or checks. I guess life is really a circle after all.

We use the coin machine at Vystar. There is no charge or fee.

Coin machine in Walmart on HWY 441 at customer service area. No service charge.

The solution is to spend the coins as you get them. I pay with exact change every time I can. Reminds me of when I was young and most things were bought with change; 5 cent bottle coke, penny candy, etc. You only accumulate change if you don't take a moment to count it out; my wife does even if I'm in a hurry.

From Google:

How much does Walmart coin machine charge?
It allows you to declutter your pockets or piggy banks by getting rid of unwanted coins while providing convenient options for converting them into usable funds. In summary, as of December 2023, customers using the Coinstar machine at Walmart should expect an 11.9% processing fee if they choose to receive cash.Dec 16, 2023

I get behind the ones who stand there while the cashier rings up $100.00 worth of food, then tells the person the amount, then the person starts digging in her purse for her wallet or checkbook. :loco:

Yes, you can Google "coinstar locations"....the machine has some options that do not extract a fee. But even 7% fee is worth not having to waste time counting and wrapping!!

I get those too. Also, some people act like they have never used a credit card machine when it is time to pay.

Boy, I would love that!

Maybe buy an inexpensive coin counter/wrapper machine on Amazon?

There are coin machines in Publix and Winn Dixie. At Winn Dixie I put my jar of change in and choose an Amazon gift card as payoff and the fee is waived. There might be other options.

TD bank had coin counting machines in NJ. They supposedly charged nothing for this service. They had an option for you to guess how much you had accumulated. If you were within a certain amount there would be a prize. That backfired on them
when some people had counted in advance and found that the machine had short changed them. Soon after that the machines disappeared.
