Anyone know where there's one of those machines where I can dump a huge amount of coins into and then they would give me bills or whatever? I've got a large jar of change that I would love to get sorted and to have to separate the coins and roll them individually would annoy me to no end.

[$_$]

Haha, they use to have these, but not anymore. I heard they always give wrong change anyways. I suggest you hit up staples and get a change sorter, its like a plastic container that has different levels and it sorts all your change. Unfortunately, you can't sort a lot of it out, and you have to kind of sift it. If you're willing to throw down, there are automatic coin sorters as well, but those will cost you a pretty penny.

[skyxx]

Safeway?

[C06cityboi]

walmart has one. it's in the office items, safes and etc. it's small, i don't think it's that pricey, but i wouldn't really know as well.

[Meowjin]

casino. srsly.

[asdfpic]

seen them in costco before, maybe not anymore though
staples prob best bet

[Ronin]

casino. srsly.

I called River Rock and they said that:

1. you have to play. No problem...I play anyways...

2. they don't accept pennies...which is the majority of everyone's change jar.

[Greenstoner]

if you are the type of person pay cash for pumping gas, i suggest you put some dimes and pennies in the car...
you can tell them to put like 10.23 or whatever, its actually a good way to get rid of your change quickly and not wasting it...

[Ronin]

I don't. That's what credit cards are for. I'm the type of person to get a big jar and then put all change in it at the end of the day.

[hirevtuner]

go to superstore metro and use the self serve checkout and buy something and dump out all your change, that's what I do

[Death2Theft]

U can use my machine for a 5% fee

[Greenstoner]

U can use my machine for a 5% fee

killer deal !!!

brought mine to grand villa and they took everything so i'm pretty sure casinos should accept pennies as well

[josh t-1]

most credit unions installed change counting kiosks that are free to use

[choda]

That BS if River Rock said that, just go to Edgewater, that's what I did and got some crisp bills!

[TOPEC]

i can sort it out for u only if i can keep half the amount

[fishing666]

i'll sort your money for 2% but u must have at least $10 000 in coins

[shenmecar]

This is actually what I do. But I also take the bus to metrotown that day as well and just chuck (back then) $1.50 in mostly nickels, pennies and dimes into the ticketing machine.

[hchang]

Safeway?

Don't they only give you a receipt for store credit or something?

[Meowjin]

I've been doing it for 3 years now. It's not a problem.

[Ronin]

So people on the phone are full of shit. Walking out of River Rock right now with $165 that weighs grams rather than tons. Took maybe five minutes...and 4 of it was walking.

[jing]

So you just go up to the "cashier" people and hand them all your change... ?

[Ronin]

Yep.

Walked in with about ten pounds of change...put it in four of their change cups. Lady ran it through the machine and it comes out all sorted. She pressed a button and it all came out in a bag, one for each denomination.

She said "Your total is $164.92...would you like that in twenties?" Yes. Walk back to car...done.

[Culture_Vulture]

Once in high school I tried to pay $1.50 in bus fare with pennies and nickels :)

[AzNightmare]

hmm... I forgot what's that place in metrotown. They sell like random stuff. Like plates
or cups and other porcelain stuff. And kitchen ware too. They always have this Chess set made with shotglasses that's like $10 and cheap $30 poker chip thing. I don't remember what's it called though, but I saw them have a coin sorter thing there.

Anyone know which store I'm talking about?? Sorry, don't remember the name of that place.

[Greenstoner]

^spenser?? if that is the store, they are not in there anymore

they do have one in lougheed

[TypeRNammer]

The last time I did that back in my highschool days, I jammed the machine:haha:

Vancouver can meet you at bank of choice to divvy up.

If people knew how much they had they wouldn't be asking.

Does the RiverRock take pennies as well?

yes

[Gumby]

Does River Rock still offer this service, free of charge?

Nope, tried

They changed it to you having to make an appointment, usually early, and no more pennies.

This was what they told me, looked like a damn fool carrying a coffee tin of change

If that's the case, looks like those of us with a crapload of pennies are out of luck! :(

[hirevtuner]

just go self checkout at superstore and dump all your loose change
but make sure you go when there isn't a huge lineup cuz ppl will be pissed waiting for you dumping change for like 5 mins
hahah

[ilvtofu]

^spenser?? if that is the store, they are not in there anymore

they do have one in lougheed

Spencer's is long gone isn't it? haha

I know that Target and Macy's in the states have a small coin sorter that they sell for around $20. Not sure if US coins are the same size though, although if you picked out the loonies and toonies than you're probably good.

[tool001]

fuck, they should just get rid of pennies already!

[hchang]

Which Superstore are you referring to?

I know the self checkouts in Richmond do not accept or dispense cash.

[Eff-1]

When you go to River Rock with change, tell them you want CHIPS not cash. They won't send you away.

Anyone tried doing this at the other casinos? (Edgewater/Starlight/Grand Villa)

[n'drew]

Grand villa had no problems doing my bucket of pennys and nickels. I got 170 from all pennys :)

[essel]

^ Was this recently? I've got a ton of change waiting to be sorted

[Gumby]

Holy crap, that means you had 17,000 pennies?!

Yeah, was this recently?

[tee-tea]

Costco downtown has one. saw one the other day

[Gumby]

Has one what? Change sorting machine? Or they'll convert your coins to bills?

[donjalapeno]

i have a mailing tube full of change lol i was gonna make a thread

[hirevtuner]

metrotown and grandview hwy

[TypeRNammer]

Grandview Hwy superstore you cannot dump your change into the self checkout but you can stick in individual coins.

[Obsideon]

I have a 3 foot tall, roughly 8 inches in diameter coke bottle that's almost full... last time I poured it out to change all the coins, it was only 1/5 full and I already got almost $500, I actually sat on the floor and sorted them out, took about 3 hours! :eek:

I don't even know what to do with the bottle now ... should be about 2k+ in there worth ... :\
Maybe I should just buy another piggy bank :lol:

[donjalapeno]

^ where do you reside :troll:

[Jer3]

so i have a huge bag of change sitting around so i thought id bump this thread. anyone recently know if grand villa or any other casino still accepts coins to be changed?

[bayee]

The Canadian Tires at market crossing have a change sorter machine (10% processing fee)

[yot065]

canadian tires got one, just they take a small percentage though

[Gumby]

I've seen green-coloured change sorting machines at Safeway stores too - not sure what the conditions are though.

[MG1]

killer deal !!!

Holy shit! Aside from this thread being brought back from the depths of RS, I noticed Greenstoner's post.

I love his fail count........... most RS members can't count that high.

OMGWTFBBQ

[Death2Theft]

5$ to use mine i'll supply the wrappers :P

[CP.AR]

be careful with a lot of these coin sorters. The problem is that they were made for the US Market, which means unfortunately they will NOT properly sort loonies and toonies.

[Ronin]

Does River Rock still accept? I might have enough to go again.

[Psykopathik]

Once in high school I tried to pay $1.50 in bus fare with pennies and nickels :)

bus was $0.25 when i was a kid....:badpokerface:

[FRStan]

I saw a coin to bill machine at Safeway in Coquitlam, don't recall a processing fee

[sonick]

I think Safeway converts it to a store credit?

[seakrait]

I think Safeway converts it to a store credit?

No. The coin changing company charges you 11.9%. You redeem the voucher at Safeway customer service. Safeway gets paid by the coin changing company for use of their floor space.

11.9% at the Robson Safeway store anyway.

[dangonay]

Yup. 11.9% at the Willingdon Safeway too. Used to be 9.8% when they had them in their stores a few years ago. Ah well, I still took over $100 change their. It's not worth my time to roll it myself.

BMO has coin counters at some of their locations that don't charge a fee. And you don't even need to have a BMO account

Cool. Just be aware that there are only five BMO banks with the coin counting machines. Two in north van, and one each in Richmond, port moody, and Vancouver.

[iam_dan]

Just one in Victoria as well (On Goldstream in Langford). I've got lots of change so I'll give it a try next time I am out there.

You can even take in US coins which will be accepted at par.
