i have a whole collection of US dollar coins & 50 cent coins . im wondering where i can exchange it for cash . im not sure if CoinStar or whatever its called excepts these coins .

p.s. theyre the very large coins , bigger than quarters & such .

If you’re talking about the older dollar coins, as you say the big ones and not the new Susan B. Anthony coins, they’re probably worth more than face value. Some can be worth quite a bit. Check with a coin shop or on-line. The link below is one site that you can check.

    Any bank will exchange them for paper currency.

    Although depending on the collection’s depth, you might be able to get more than face value from other coin collectors.

    You can exchange them at any bank for free, but it would be preferable if you count how much it was first before you exchange/count it, sometimes they cheat you. Also, Coinstar, most ATM’s and such definitely take a fee for using it.

    I would go to your local bank because they usually take all forms of US currency and exchange it for cash. I wouldn’t try a Coinstar machine because the machine might not recognize them as dollar coins but as other coins, like quarters. Also, if they are rare enough, you could take them to a coin collector, and see what they could offer you….good luck!

    You can bring them to the bank. They may require that they be rolled. You can also just use them every time you are spending money.
