Publix has its own coin-counting machines in its stores, not Coinstar machines.
Using the Publix coin machine incurs a fee, typically around 10% of the total amount of coins counted. This fee can vary by store, so checking with your local Publix for specific details is recommended.
After counting your coins, the machine will print a receipt that you can then redeem for cash at the Publix customer service counter.
- Some sources suggest that while Coinstar kiosks charge a fee of up to 12.9% plus a $0.59 transaction fee to convert coins to cash, they also offer fee-free options if you choose to receive an e-gift card from a selection of over 20 stores and restaurants or donate the coins to charity.
- Some banks and credit unions may offer free coin-counting services, especially for their members.
