Under the new offer announced today with Amazon, Coinstar will now allow users to convert their loose change into Amazon Gift Certificates that can be used online at Amazon.com.
Man, when I skimmed the article and learned about "Coinstar" my first thought was this classic old (and therefore still funny) SNL skit... :lol:
First Citiwide Change Bank - #1 (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/88/88achangebank1.phtml)
skit #2 (http://snltranscripts.jt.org/88/88achangebank2.phtml)
Customer: "I'd just returned from a business trip to London, and all the cash I had was a five-pound note. Citiwide wasn't able to convert it to dollars, but they did give me four guineas, two crowns, four shillings, and ten pence." -Phil Hartman's straight face, always genius :) (stupid homicidal wife taking great funny man away from us...)
