No fees for loose change?

[PIGGY BANKER]

What locations in Vegas provide such a service?

[mickeycrimm]

The TITO, hitting multiple casinos in a day, and cashing out at kiosks means I wind up with 3 pounds of coins in my pocket everyday. I leave it as tips in restaurants or get rid of it in convenience stores.

[PIGGY BANKER]

Those are good options MC
However, looking to unload more than 1k

[MaxPen]

The M and Ellis Island both have no fee machines. Both places to the right of their cages.

No shit?
Will check one of those out soon, thank you.
Thought both were fee based.

[mickeycrimm]

Yeah, that’s a problem. I think those coin stars get like 8%.

[Advantageplay]

Coin star is 11.9 percent now

You can gradually get rid of it by going to a Walmart or other grocery stores that have self checkout. The self checkout machines accept coins. Just go early in the morning or very late at night when there are no lines and then buy your groceries with the coins.

Oh, done that so many times lost count, yes, great way to unload coinage.

The change promo at Ellis started out at 20% unlimited. Then after a few days it was reduced to 10%. Then it was reduced to 10% on up to $400 worth of coin. Atleast that's how I remember it.

I will have to argue that that it was ever truly unlimited. I think I would have used all my coins that I bought if this was the case, and I have no doubt I would have went all ham on it. IIRC it was around summer and hot as fuck.

I had mentioned before it was 20% at the start(this has been discussed here before). I went to the bank and bough a few bricks of quarters and they were heavy as fuck. I kept them in the trunk and me and my GF did this quite a few times and ran well with a Royal and some dealt quads. I never did use all the coins and I had been ridding around for a very long time with like $500 in coins in my trunk. Probably gave up the EV from lowered gas mileage lol.

They definitely would have taken $500 when it was 20%

It was kind of hard to round up coins not making it very worthwhile. Eastside Cannery and Jerry's Nugget were the 2 best places to get coins from. The only limitation in the beginning was having to show a players card along with receipt at the cage.

Thank you for sharing this. I can't believe I never thought of this.

My bank does not offer change counting services and still requires you to roll them up.

I forget where I heard or read this. But wasn't there an AP story about a casino that was offering a premium on coins exchanged - I think it was 10% over face in free play - that had to shut down because people were bringing in wagons full?

I can chime in here. About two/three years ago, I unloaded about 1K twice at Ellis Island and received a 10% free play bonus for taking the amount in free play. I distinctly remember because Argentino/Singer did his usual nose-in-the-air commentary about it being such an uncool thing to do. So the dates and amounts are in archives here.

Since then, Ellis ceased the promotion. But Axel is correct. The machines are still there and charge nothing.

I just dumped $50 in pennies in Coinstar the other day at Kroger and got a gift card. No fee if you get gift card. If you want money back, they gouge you, as mentioned.

When I bring in coin for cash I want cash not free play. In & out. Ellis Island is a dump. I used to hate having that place on my circuit but it served its purpose.

I think I'd rather have 18 to 19% return on my money in less than an hour.

That would be a great hustle. I imagine axel could tell us some stories.

I had completely forgotten. That's another way I offload the coins. I've dumped as high as $20 at a time.

[Rob.Singer]

Each year I take a bag of $500-$600 in loose change that accumulates, to casino cages which charge nothing. The last one was in Feb. at Colorado Belle. I expect there's plenty that accept change around LV.
