I had a friend who wanted to start a coin counting by mail business. The customer mails the coins in a flat rate package and then you count them and in exchange the people get a gift card to a local restaurant.

      The idea was that since coinstar charges like 12%, you would exchange the coins for equal value but it would be in the form of a gift certificate to a local restaurant.

      Turned out that Amazon was offering gift cards at equal value so that kind of killed that particular angle.
