Coinstar Reviews

Background You know when someone is using a Coinstar machine by the loud crashing sound of coins being tipped into the coin sorter.

Being a hoarder of loose change I have over ...  Read the complete review

I have now been using coinstar for many years, I save all my copper coins and a lot of other spare change that I have lying around.

Although I am ...  Read the complete review

I first noticed coinstar in Asda and had no idea what it was, it just looked sort of like an instore atm to me. Until one day I was chatting with a friend about what she did with all her 1p's and 2p's, she introduced me to coinstar. So I collected the familys savings, we have a big jar that throughout the year we all stick any loose ...  Read the complete review

Coinstar a really simple concept that I'm surprised hasn't been around for longer. I used to see the Coinstar machine in Asda by the door and saw people putting in change and for some reason after seeing the receipt that came out, I presumed you then spent the money/voucher in store. After discovering a large bag of 1p's, 2p's, 5p's, ...  Read the complete review

Coinstar machines are something I had avoided for many years- my impression was you have to cart all your change from your change jar to the supermarket, probably queue with other poor people to empty it all into the machine in full view of all the rich shoppers and then the machine would rip you off and take a percentage for its maintance and ...  Read the complete review

It can be found in the front of most supermarkets. Before using it for the first time, ...  Read the complete review

Now, I collect change like a Magpie collects unneccesary items. I'm not just talking 1p's and 2p's here, I'm talking big fish 10p's and 20p's.

Anything less than 20p, and it goes straight into a big plastic replica Carlsberg can sat on my desk for the benefit of ...  Read the complete review

***Where does our change come from?*** While I am a stickler for using change, even when it sometimes means a bulging and heavy purse, my husband couldn't be more different. He very rarely pays for anything with something smaller than a £1 coin. This is partially because his pockets are always full of junk- receipts, train tickets, cards, ...  Read the complete review
