Change machines

[sox04.livejournal.com]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a machine to 'roll' change (i.e. convert nickels and pennies into paper money or store credit)? There used to be one in the Star/Shaw's market in Porter ....

TIA!

There's a Constar in the Porter Shaw's but their cut is like 10%.

but if you get a gift certificate to amazon or borders or starbucks, there is no cut.

Add iTunes to that list where you get 100% of your money back

The Foodmaster on Broadway/Claredon Hills.

Is the one in Star/Porter gone? Oh no....

My guess is that it might now be housed in the separate recycle area--used to lead directly into the store, but they've remodeled and added a new entrance, walling off the recycle area into it's own separate room with outside door (no entrance into the store).

The Coinstar is inside now, next to the the checkout lines.

And for what it's worth, the cut is 8.9%.

Sounds like the CoinStar is still at the one in Porter, but I'll chime in with the fact that there's also one at the Stop & Shop on McGrath, near the intersection of Broadway (where the old Somerville Lumber was).

I believe the Stop'n'Shop at Wellington has one.
