Last week I brought a jar full of coins to my local grocery store where they have one of those
Coin Star machines.
Typically the machine keeps a % of the money as coin-counting fee. However, now they give you the option to buy a gift-card from Star Bucks, Amazon.com etc instead of taking cash and waive the coin-counting fee. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon so naturally I picked the Amazon option.
Now I was thinking I'd $40 or so in change but it was $107. Needless to say I came home and bought $150 stuff from Amazon...
