Gather your change. Empty those pockets. Clean out your handbags. Grab the coin jar and take them to the nearest Coinstar location that offers free counting.
When this service began, you paid a percentage of the total coins counted and then collected the balance in cash.
Now you can have it all as gift cards at some locations. Choose from cards for Amazon, CVS, Starbucks, and more. Here's a current list.

Or, you can donate your change to one of Coinstar's partner charities.

The photo was taken at the Shaw's Market on Huntington Avenue. You can search for other Coinstar locations on their site. Be sure you look for a free counting location if that's what you want.
I for one, will not be wrapping coins any longer.
