“Coinstar, in partnership with Coinme, has launched a pilot that allows its customers to use cash to purchase bitcoin,” Walmart communications director Molly Blakeman said. “There are 200 Coinstar kiosks located inside Walmart stores across the United States that are part of this pilot.”
Coinstar kiosk
Walmart shoppers who buy bitcoin at the Coinstar kiosks will be given a voucher that they must then redeem for bitcoin on Coinme — each bitcoin purchase carries a total of 11% in fees: transaction fee of 4% and a cash exchange fee of 7%, according to Coinstar. Fees to buy bitcoin vary by exchange, but at the cryptocurrency exchange undefined, for example, there’s a 2.49% transaction fee to buy bitcoin.
Ironically, Walmart shoppers cannot use U.S. coins to make bitcoin purchases at Coinstar machines — only paper money.

Coinstar LLC, a provider of self-service coin counting kiosks, will install Coinstar kiosks at 100 Mountain America Credit Union locations in six states, according to a press release.
Coinstar kiosks in branches will allow members to convert their coins to cash or directly deposit into their account.
“After a successful pilot, we are excited to roll out kiosks at our branch locations,” Erik Finch, senior vice president, chief data and strategy officer at Mountain America, said in the release. “The pilot results showed improved operational and teller labor savings, as well as an improved experience for both staff and members.
