Some, but not all, Coinstar machines offer a "free" option - 100% of your money is returned to you in the form of a gift card (actually a paper receipt with a code number) to a retail or online outlet of your choice. There are several retail options to choose from, and different machines might have different options (Amazon is usually included). You're not required to spend the entire amount in one purchase; the code works just like a gift card.

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Coin Redemption
Sorry for jumping in late here but it really pisses me off that you cant
get coins counted for free at a bank or somewhere else. I save my
change every day and once a year cash it in. I usually end up with $400
to $500 or so. There is no way I am giving coinstar $50 to cash my
change. I would rather pay a kid to count it
