I think we're missing the big picture here. To me time is money, technology exists to save us time and frustration, sure it costs money but is it really all that much ?
If I have to spend 2 hours to count my 20lbs jar worth of coins to save $10 at Coinstar, then go out of the way to the bank to first buy the coin rolls and then to deposit them its just not worth it to me. Last time I took my jar to Coinstar I ended up picking up an Amazon gift certificate for the full face value. While I'd prefer cash but I also buy stuff from Amazon.com, Lowes/HD all the time so works out.
Even if I get cash and say I make two trips to coinstar per yr that's $20 (on my $200 worth of coins)...if I feel like making up for it I'll just eat one less pizza during the year and make up for the lost $20
