I went to walmart to use the coinstar machine, in hopes of an Amazon gift card. Anyway there is a sign on it saying to get customer care to help use. So I go to customer care and the guy hits some buttons to ask for cash. I think it was 11.9% fee for cash. I told the guy I did not want to lose 12%, so a gift card was preferable with no fee. So he said wait a minute, talked a manager, and he said he could count it on their machine for cash. I said OK, and he disappeared in the back room. He had a receipt with the coin count, but I don't know if some went missing...... Seemed a bit low. It was about 15 pounds, since I added more. I'll post the results in a bit. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...7227375/re-piggy-bank-guess#Post17227375
