You sure it's free? There's a "CoinStar" machine in ASDA that counts change and prints a slip you take to the checkouts to convert into useful money, but it charges 7.5% for the privilige. I save up copper change in a tin and take it to be counted when full, with 1s and 2s I'm not bothered about the 7.5% as the convenience is worth it.
I keep my silver and pound coins in another tin though, and count those by hand - there's usually over £100 quid in it, rather than the $15 or so that the copper one accumulates.
Most of the silver and pound ones end up getting spent down The Subculture anyway, so perhaps I am secretly financing the Orange Ninja Copper Magnate busines plan by stealth?
