I've noticed at work that my employees have plenty of change that ends up being a hassle for them and they go to a coinstar. I've thought about putting a machine in my locations and would probably have that opportunity to do it in the other 8 locations we have if it is feasible. My question is if anyone knows if I can get a machine without having to get involved with coinstar and what machine would they recommend?

You can tell that the economy is dead now that there are more threads on vending machines than there are threads on stock picks


Can’t wait til the threads on selling scrap metal show up, it’ll finally be my chance to shine

It's just an opportunity that I have in front of me. If I was able to get into our busiest locations and make a few hundred extra it would be a win

You still work at the boob store? That’s like my dream job tbh like some days I go the whole day without seeing a single hot chick and it’s depressing

Yeah you’re truly blessed. The only better job out there is strip club dj or maybe owner of Fred’s

instead of using a coinstar, why don't people just go to walmart purchase a visa gift card at self checkout and just dump their change in the self checkout machine?

I'm a hobby welder that probably welds way more than your normal hobbyist. I have all kinds of scrap that I just want to get rid of but they price they pay you for scrap is so meaningless and I find uses for the scrap occasionally. It just sits in a pile until I find a use for it. Currently building a pipe fence around my property and probably have 300 male and female ends of oilfield pipe laying around. Wish I could think of a cool project to use those for.

off topic but whatever happened to that sand well refining company? I saw you advocating it like a year ago, it was a while ago, and bought in just a little but sold not long after.

It was a scam

The us gov didn’t approve the application and it fell through. I shoulda sold at 40 rip

I’ll take the oilfield pipe and build my own oilfield pipe fence if you wanna get rid of it

Coin counting machines are high maintenance when turned loose on the public. People dump in a crown royal bag of coins with some miscellaneous nuts, washers, paper clips, bullets.....

I was just looking to use it for employees. It is possibly not worth it, but I was curious enough to look around

There are some Coinstar locations (Winn Dixie) that allow you to get an Amazon gift card with your deposited change without any fee.
