I’ve never used those coin-counting machines at the grocery store because they charge a percentage of your total. But FYI: now you can transfer your change into e-certificates (think Amazon or iTunes) or gift cards (Starbucks, Borders, Pier One, Old Navy, AMC, Hollywood Video) for FREE!

Little luxuries for money you didn’t even realize you had. Love it!
