Gillian's been saving her coins and today we took them to a local CoinStar kiosk. We added up $94.12 worth of coins at home. The CoinStar machine counted just $73.30. They normally charge a fee, but we were redeeming gift cards, in which case CoinStar waives their fee.
$11 isn't a lot to you and I, but for a 7 year old who's been saving for 5 years, it's a fortune.
Not impressed.
Our count: $94.12.
CoinStar says just $73.30.
It was fun for a while.
