most safeways have a machine that will do it for you.

you have to roll it first before they will take it.

Don't those machines at Safeway take a percentage or take your money and give you in store credit?

Personally, I just take the dimes and nickels and go to a pop machine, put the coins in and then use the coin return to get quarters.
Then I have coins for parking.

As for the penny's, just roll them up and take them to the bank.

After you roll it, they'll want you to sort them in groups of 5 or whatever and rubber band it. They'll provide it if you don't have rubber bands.

Just a heads up, Paisano's doesn't accept change if you want to buy their pizza or calzone.

Joking aside, I heard casinos as well but I don't know how it works.

All Safeway's use the Coinstar machines, if you redeem for an eCertificate instead of cash I heard you aren't charged a fee.

Safeways machines are easy to use.
you get a receipt and you get the money at customer service

Use one of those self-served cashier machine. Pop coins in. May take a bit of time but it counts them for you for no fee and no hassle of rolling them up.

CIBC also takes them in without having an account, just gotta be rolled. also helps when the rolls are put into groups of ten. they'll give out the paper rolls when you ask them for it, but they won't roll it for you

Beware of giving change to the bourgeois homeless here...

Was eating a mcD's downtown once, this bum comes in for some change, so I gave him a pocketful of change I had. He picked out the quarters and loonies, dropped the rest on the floor, and grabbed my chicken nuggets. Fuck was I pissed.

But yeah, bank or Safeway.

There is a credit union located just east of willingdon on hastings in burnaby. It's called community savings or something like that. They have a coin counter machine that is free for anyone to use. Just walk in, dump the coins in, and within 2 minutes you'll be walking out with cash. It's great.

you can get it exchanged at canadian tire (http://canadiantire.ca) at market crossing (http://burnabytoday.com/marketcrossing.html)

although.. i do believe they take 11% of the total amount and they don't accept the new loonies or toonies
