nice, I collected change for a while and had around 150 dollars as well, but I rolled it all and took it to the bank, don't take it to a coinstar that shit robs you-something like 8 cents per dollar. It doesn't take that long to roll and you don't lose any of your money

dont take them to a coinstar machine dude take it to a bank.  Coinstar charges like 8 or 10 percent or something like that.  If you take it to a bank you get all of your money which could be like a 20 dollar difference in your case.  coinstar... genius idea for whoever created it but a fuckin rip off

washing dishes in the summer I get 5% of the waitress's tips, and tehre is always tons a change, so by the end of teh summer I have $100s in coins, but I'm in Canada so it adds up quicker with loonies and toonies.
