Spare change and Child's Play

DragonPup

So this is a rehash of a thread I posted a year ago, but I think it bears repeating.

Many of us have a fairly substantial tub holding spare change that we never bothered to cash. And many of us have a local super market with a CoinStar counting machine.

CoinStar machines can give you an Amazon gift certificate rather than cash, and the gift certificate does not incur coin counting fees. I emptied all of my change earlier this week, and recieved a $60 gift certificate that I used to buy New Orleans Children's Hospital some books('Where the Wild Things Are', and 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs', if you are that curious.).

So if you want to give a little more to Child's Play, empty those coin tubs into a CoinStar, get the gift certificate option, and help out some needy kids with money you have just sitting around.

That's a good idea actually, I used to abuse the hell out of Coinstar when I delivered pizza.

This is a great idea. I have a huge cup of pennies on my desk that I've been trying to figure out how to eliminate (the vending machines here don't take 'em), and the Big Y down the street has a Coinstar.

Also, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs fuck yes.
