Yes. Coinstar machines accept Sacagawea coins and even half-dollars. Most coin-counting machines charge a so-called 'service fee' of 8 to 10 percent which is far in excess of the amount needed to keep the machines operating. Check for the following alternatives: > Some machines will waive the fee if you take the money as a gift card rather than as cash. You just have to be careful that the card will be used, and that it too doesn't have a lot of strings attached, like expiration dates and/or 'usage fees', which are just as bad as having the machine keep a dime out of every dollar you put in. > Some major banks, including one on the U.S. East Coast with large green signs (no advertising here, please) will count coins for free, and you do not have to have an account - anyone can walk in. IMO this is the best alternative because it costs you nothing, you walk out with cash in had, and there are no 'gotcha' conditions.

Do Coinstar machines accept dollar president coins?

Technically they should accept all forms of small dollar coins - Anthony, Sacagawea, and presidential - because they have the same size, weight, and electronic "signature". However some machines may not be set to accept any dollar coins so you'd have to check around.That said, there are much less costly ways to convert coins to paper money. Unless you request the money as a gift card, most Coinstar machines charge a so-called service fee that amounts to about 9 cents out of every dollar counted. That means you'll lose nearly one-tenth of everything you put in. Check with some major banks to see if they'll count them for free. If you live in the northeast US there is a large super-regional bank with a 2-letter name and green logo that will count coins without charge, whether you have an account with them or not.

What is one rixty code?

A RixtyCode is a 16 digit number that represents your coin deposit or prepaid card purchase value. When you redeem a RixtyCode, you transfer the code value into your online Rixty account. Once you have added money to your Rixty account, you can spend it, but the merchants obviously have to accept Rixty. RixtyCodes can be obtained by purchasing a Rixty Prepaid Card or by exchanging your coins at a Coinstar machine (should be free) to receive a Rixty eCert. You can find Rixty Prepaid Cards in gas stations and drug stores. Some supermarkets also. Coinstar machines are usually found at the grocery store or drug store also.
