Most H-E-B stores offer coin-counting services through Coinstar kiosks.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Service Options: Coinstar allows you to convert your loose change into cash (with a fee), eGift Cards (often fee-free), or donate to a charity.
- Fees: A service fee (up to 12.9% + $0.99) applies for cash conversions, but many eGift Card options are fee-free.
- How it works: Simply pour your coins into the Coinstar machine, follow the on-screen instructions, and choose your preferred payout option.
- Alternative: You can also use coins to pay for items at self-checkout lanes without incurring a fee, though there might be a practical limit on the amount of coins you can use this way.
In addition to coin counting, H-E-B stores often have other kiosks and vending services available, such as ATMs, phone recycling machines, and cryptocurrency kiosks.

Where is there a free coin machine?
Great question! Your local bank branch is a good place to exchange coins. The branch will typically give you coin wrappers for free. Credit unions or community banks are more likely to have free coin-counting machines for members.
Do grocery stores still have coin machines?
I can help with that. Key takeaways
Banks and credit unions often offer free coin exchange services for customers, while charging small fees for non-customers. Coinstar machines charge up to 12.9 percent plus a 99-cent flat fee but are widely available at grocery stores and retailers.
