Everyone knows it when you put a loonie in a slot and pull and win “ nothing “.

Coinstars are the machines commonly found in grocery stores where you dump your loose change in and get cash back.
Machine rejects anything other than Canadian and some US coins

I took about $80 worth of change to Safeway a year ago to use the coin star machine. I was pretty P.O'd when I found out they take 18% of the money. I looked all over and nowhere did it sat the fee until you had already dumped your change into it.

Bought a couple of items at Safeway, and before I entered method of payment, I dropped about $90 worth of change in the slot, to which it gave me change In bills! Completely avoided the 15% charge!

Not correct
The machines have a screen with the terms that you have to press a button to accept before the transaction can proceed.
Yes they take a high percentage so it is foolish to put loonies and twoonies in but they are great for dimes, quarters, nickels and pennies if you have them
BTW they take 11.9% not 18
No I don't work for coin star but did use one last week

It's been around since like the 20s and was also prominently featured in a book written by Robert A. Heinlein called "The moon is a harsh mistress". It's a good read I'd highly suggest it.

I'm guessing that the thread is about what might turn up in the reject slot? I haven't used a coin sorter just manually roll them up once a year. Actually just did this week and a year's worth amounted to $214.

No. There was no screen stating the terms before I pressed anything.
Yes. They too 18%.
I don't work for coin star either but I did use one two years ago.
I have no idea why you think I'd be lying about it.

Don't think your lying, maybe 2 years ago they were like that..

Co-op in Red Deer
Took me awhile to find one but this one charges 10.9% Says so on a screen that you have to press go on before it will work.
I empty my pockets into an empty coffee container before I go to bed at night and it really adds up. Pays for a good part of a new rifle each year.
Found a couple pop can pull tabs is all. And it rejects all the loonies that have that really bright cheap yellowish color. Hopefully they're not all fake.
