What about Coinstar?

[LinuxNut]

I am not sure who all has them, but in the supermarket there are CoinStar change machines to exchange your coins for cash they are now accepting Paypal. What would we need to do to get them to accept Bitcoin?

Has no one thought of this yet? If not they should have.

It has been discussed before as with everything that is talked about around here it goes nowhere lol ...

[GGGGG]

I think it would be awesome to exchange spare change for BTC - maybe if enough people contacted Coinstar asking for this option they would consider it.

Well from the looks of things I doubt they'll do it any time soon with all these exchanges getting shut down.

Maybe not soon, but eventually.

Sorry to necrothread, but whatever.

Coinstar machines will start selling Bitcoin at the grocery store

Lesson here, eventually nearly all financial services will be impacted by Bitcoin.

Feeding a mountain of coins into machines like this is one of life's great pleasures, even though it's so goddamn unhygenic your hands are grey by the end of it. I can't find any mention of fees. I hope it's not even worse than what they charge to get conventional money back.

You can't turn loose coins into BTC. Weirdorama. More fees I presume.
