so a friend tells me about the coin star and apparently it isn’t a thing where you go to break bills into change and the more I read about it the more I do not understand why any person would want, need, or use such a service?

suddenly my thinking “haha yeah change machine broke but I need change so relatable” was the bit in that guy’s post but uh

that it’s the literal inverse is? COMPLETELY unreasonable to me? what universe is this service from?

WHO is it for? WHAT is it for? What possivle situation do you have in which you need to turn coins into notes and not the other way around?

@ticky every time you come home with a nickel and a dime in your pocket you drop it into the coffee can by the door. After a few years you have 250$ in heavy metal in several coffee cans.

@Fuego that’s 25 and 10 cents right? Do you just not make small purchases with cash ever? The 1 cent issue I can sort of understand but also other countries got rid of 1 cent coins decades ago 🤷🏻‍♀️

Follow

@ticky also almost no one uses cash anymore so coinstar was like a thing you did in high school or if you’re an old person or if you really need $10 for a pizza so you scour your cushions for coins
