Summarize this article in one sentence.
Many large stores have coin-counting machines, which rapidly count inserted mixed coins and returns paper money. However, these usually charge you a percentage of your total coin value as a fee, or gives you full value only in the form of a gift certificate to certain retailers. Certain banks have similar services, but usually only for customers. In Canada or the eastern U.S., even non-customers can use the coin-counting machines at BMO (Bank of Montreal) or TD Bank, although there may be fees.

These range from a stack of cheap plastic trays with different sized holes, to machines that cost several hundred dollars or euros, and sort the machine in fast or visually appealing ways. Cheap, electronic coin-counting machines may jam after a few uses. Look for reviews online before buying one. Because coins are minted with a precise size and composition of metals, each one weighs a certain, predictable amount. You can estimate the value of a mixed coin collection using CoinCalc.com or for U.S. coinage, or separate them by type and weight them for a more accurate result: One pound of quarters is worth $20. One pound of dimes is worth $20. One pound of nickels is worth about $4.50, and one pound of pennies is worth about $1.80. One kilogram of two-euro coins is worth about 235. One kilo of one-euro coins is worth about 133. One kilo of 50-cent euro coins is worth about 64. A kilo of 20-cent coins is worth about 35, a kilo of 10-cent coins is worth about 24, a kilo of 5-cent coins is worth about 13, a kilo of two-cent coins is worth about 6.67, and a kilo of one-cent coins is worth about 4.35.
