In most cases, coin machines do accept dollar coins , specifically including the Sacagawea and Presidential dollar coins.
However, there are a few important exceptions to be aware of:
- Eisenhower Silver Dollars and Commemorative Coinage: Many coin machines, including Coinstar, [do not accept these types of dollar coins].
- Foreign Coinage: Coin machines typically only accept the currency of the country they are in.
- Dirty or Damaged Coins: Coins that are excessively dirty, sticky, bent, or otherwise damaged might be rejected by the machine, regardless of their denomination.
In short, if you have standard US dollar coins, you should be able to use a coin machine to convert them to cash, a gift card, or a charitable donation.
Do Coinstar machines recognize dollar coins?
By GovMint :
If you have a collection of dollar coins that you want to exchange for cash, using a Coinstar machine can be a quick and efficient option, though you may want to consult an expert to ensure there are no additional numismatic factors that might make dollar coins worth more than their face value alone.
Are $1 coins still accepted?
Thanks for asking. Half dollar and $1 coins are usually produced as collectibles. However, they may still be ordered by the Federal Reserve for circulation and used as legal tender.
What coins does Coinstar not accept?
I can help with that. Coinstar cannot accept Eisenhower silver dollars, 1943 steel pennies, pure silver, commemorative or foreign coinage. They may not be recognized by our kiosk or returned to you. Items such as keys, jewelry and other valuables should also not go into the kiosk.
Where can I cash in $1 coins?
Most national banks, local banks and credit unions will accept coins in exchange for cash. However, policies and procedures vary by institution and location.
