Here’s a list of locations where you might find a coin machine near you that offers free service, potentially with conditions:
- Credit Unions and Community Banks: These institutions are often more likely to have free coin counting machines available for their members. Some examples mentioned are American Eagle Federal Credit Union, Westerra Credit Union, and People’s United Bank. Note that while they may offer free services for members, there might be a fee for non-customers.

Where is there a free coin machine?
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.
Where to turn coins into cash without a fee?
Rolled coins
After the bank teller counts your coins, they will give you cash in exchange or send a deposit to your savings or checking account. Banks typically don’t charge for the coin exchange service if you’re an account holder.
Is there a Coinstar that doesn’t charge fees?
Thanks for asking. Is there a charge to use a Coinstar kiosk? Not always. Free coin counting is available at most locations in the United States if you cash in your coins for an eGift Card with a 0% fee.
