What are my options now that TD charges 8% for coinstar? I am not a huge fan of opening an account there mostly just to be able to use coinstar....

i think some of the coinstarts in supermarkets and such charge you a fee too but if you take the money in the form of a gift card the fee is waived. like an amazon, target, walmart etc. giftcard. i might be completely wrong though

It's free if you have an account and deposit it. And this has been going on for a few years

Check with your local credit union.

supermarkets if redeemed in the form of a GC. Just deposited $99.18 worth of coins the other day and got an Amazon GC for the amount haha. It is practically as good as cash these days.

That is what I do, but I just put it towards the food shopping money (ACME gift card). I'm not paying for someone to count my change LOL...

The Royal Bank of TD must charge non-residents taxes for entering their kingdom!!! Just help yourself to a handful of pens and lollipops to make up for it.

Brady--I'm surprised that the most obvious--albeit low-tech--solution has not been suggested by anyone.

The next time that you are at your own bank, ask for coin wrappers for whatever types of coinage you have. At your leisure, wrap the coins at home, and then, the next time that you visit your bank, you can either deposit them or, "cash", them. As long as you have an account, a bank will not charge you a fee for accepting rolled coins. Just be aware that many banks require you to write your account number on the wrappers, just in case they later discover a shortage or the use of slugs in the wrappers.

Clearly, this is not as convenient as using a coin-counting machine, but it is a no-cost solution to the question of how to redeem coins w/o incurring a fee.
