自助投币柜台Coinstar现在可以让您在iTunes音乐商店兑换礼券的所有零钱，以及之前宣布的向亚马逊投币礼券选项。

与普通的ol“只给我现金”选项不同，Coinstar不会拿走你沙发垫25美分硬币和10美分硬币的8.9%，而是在你的礼券中返还全部金额。他们的新闻稿包括一些“有趣的事实”：

• The average household accumulates $5.50 in change each week .
• There is an estimated $10.5 billion of spare change sitting idle in the U.S. That's 10.5 billion iTunes downloads to be had, which is enough to fill 43.8 million 1GB iPod Shuffles!
• The average American household has $99 in loose change sitting idle that can now be converted to 99 songs or about five hours of music.
• Approximately 80 percent of U.S. households accumulate coins, of which roughly one-quarter do nothing with them.
• 64 percent of Americans still own a piggy bank and use it to collect change.
• There is approximately $10.5 billion of unused change laying idle in the U.S.
• A 16-ounce jar (about the size of a mayonnaise jar), filled with an average mix of coins, contains an estimated value of $28.54; a 32-ounce container has $57.08; a half-gallon container holds $114.17; and a one-gallon container holds $228.34. This is based on the size and an average coin mix (33 percent silver, 67 percent pennies).

我自己就是一个DIY、随走随包的投币台，但随着时间的推移，装一个巨大的玻璃罐——甚至更好，一个巨大的塑料水冷却器类型的东西——并对最终的数量感到惊讶，这是一件有趣的事。你如何处理零钱？
