Today must be the day for coins! It was just earlier when I posted a link to this handy little coin counter and now Coinstar must have decided they want in on some of the eshopper action! That is what I am telling myself anyway - don't ruin this for me! Coinstar is doing a promotion where if you cash in $40 worth of coins you can get a bonus $10 itunes gift card by mail. This super rad offer expires September 30, 2010.

Here is how it works:

1. Convert $40 or more onto an iTunes eCertificate at your local Coinstar Center®

2. Get your code for a bonus $10 iTunes card

3. Enter your code at www.coinstar.com/itunes

4. Receive your bonus card by mail in 2 weeks

There is no fee for coin counting when you use the machine for certain gift cards (iTunes, Amazon, and a few others) - so if you put in $40 worth of coins or change into the machine you will get $40 back in the credit of your choice. When you cash in the $40 worth of coins you will get your $40 iTunes card purchase instantly via a code on a printed voucher  (it is like a skinny receipt) which you can use directly with your iTunes. The $10 bonus iTunes card will be sent in regular mail within a few weeks after you register.
