Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me. My son hates coins (mind he's special needs) so we had to convince him to start saving them. When he gets enough, we take him to a Coinstar machine & exchange the coins for an Amazon card.

How much of what you put in is kept by Coinstar? |

Coins in Lebanon are now used to create jewelry. They have no real value due to the change in value of currency here. Going from 1.5 to 1,500 then to 100,000 lira per dollar had made piasters worthless...except as jewelry.

How much of what you put in is kept by Coinstar? If you pick one of the cards like Amazon, then you get the entire amount. They only take a percentage if you want cash but I can't remember how much. |

I used to throw all my change in a canister and when it filled up, I would take it to my bank to "cash in." They have a machine similar to the CoinStar, but don't charge or take a percentage. I rarely carry cash anymore, so I don't get a lot of change.
