I'm done with Coinstar

 This was maybe a month ago.  For a while, I've been throwing all the pennies I get from change into one pocket of my backpack.  One day I remembered them, and decided to cash them in at a Coinstar machine.  Now when Coinstar came out, I think they took something like 6% for counting change. That was a lot.  Hell, slot machines in casinos usually have a 95% or even 97% payback.  Coinstar had around 94% payback just for counting your change.  Then their fee kept going up... and up.... and up.  

So I tossed 144 pennies into the machine to cash them in and... WTF? They charged me a 50 cents up front fee, and then 12% I think.  $1.44 turned into 76 cents.  Fuck Coinstar.
