Talk:Coinstar

message: Could we mention that it is possible to cheat the coinstar machine if you put in washers, foreign coins, exc., and that if you get caught, you will most likely be thrown out of the place you are at?  Im pretty certain that you can put washers in there and they can count as quarters.................--71.116.37.15 19:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your certainty is completely mis-placed.  The precision with which the machines identify coins is quite high.  Several different properties of the coins are checked.  The likelihood that you can toss in a pocketful of washers and walk away with any money is essentially non-existent. Sean Martin 16:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cheating the machine............ 

message: Rated this article as stub class of mid importance. This article blends the Coinstar Company and the Coinstar machine too much.  It should focus on the company, including history, business model, stock history, etc. There should be separate sections on the company's venues and products, such as the Coinstar machines, movie vending and other items mentioned in the article.  It is in heavy need of citations for much of the content provided and needs some general over all clean up.  Adding the  infobox would also be good.  Wikipedia:WikiProject_Companies/Guidelines would be quite helpful here. AnmaFinotera 22:17, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Processing Fee 

message: I have nominated this article for a neutrality check since much of the article reads as if it has been copied and pasted from a corporate prospectus. This may be in part due to a lack of sources, but it is still a problem that needs to be addressed. --chemica (talk) 15:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question of Neutrality  

message: Although the percentage taken from each transaction is listed at no point is the percentage of this fee given to charity discussed, to be fair I could not find it on the coinstar web site either, but that was the whole point of visiting this page today.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.102.204.5 (talk) 09:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Charitable Donations 

message: Please excuse me if I am wrong, but having the competitor listed and having a section here seems like nothing but free advertisement for the competitor. It ads no value to the current article except to help the competitor who was conveniently linked. I am removing the competitor from the article.  Dstrausser83 (talk) 05:14, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Competitors listed? 

message: I removed it due to the fact that there is 17 references on this page, I think that is enough. Dstrausser83 (talk) 05:22, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
