We were talking about this at the office today and I thought it was worth mentioning here.

Those Coinstar change counting machines at your local grocery store do a fantastic job, but some people can’t see paying the going rate of 8.9 cents per dollar to have their change converted into paper money.

Select Coinstar locations will exchange your change for gift cards for no counting fee.
You can choose from Amazon.com, iTunes, Starbucks and many more.

I’ve been turning my change into iTunes for a few months now. Let the Coinstar machine count your change and you’ll receive a receipt with a code to redeem at the iTunes Music Store for the amount of your change.

Here’s a link to locate a gift card coin counter near you.
