Assaulted/Beaten Up/Robbed at a Coinstar Location

Coinstar Locations Can Be Dangerous for People Wanting to Redeem Coins

Coinstar is a kiosk that offers a way to redeem your coins for cash, and many people are using Coinstar kiosks to get money back from their pile of coins. The problem with the system is that it is unguarded, unmonitored, and not safe to utilize either in freestanding areas or even inside of a store. If you have been robbed and sustained personal injuries from using a Coinstar, you need to call us at the Normandie Law Firm at 800.790.5422.

What Is a Coinstar Kiosk and How Does It Work?

Coinstar Company offers the public an easy way to redeem their coins for money. Coinstar kiosks are in strip malls, in grocery stores and in other freestanding locations across the country. The way it works is you pour your coins of any denomination into the Coinstar kiosk, it calculates the amount of money that is put in, takes a fee (which varies by location, but can be 11%) for the use of the services, and offers a few options to get the money redeemed to the person using the services of Coinstar. Once you put your coins into a Coinstar machine, you can either:

• Select a no fee eGift Card
• Make a donation to your favorite charity
• Select the cash option and pay a 12.5% fee with a $0.50 transaction fee added to receive a cash voucher
• Take your voucher from the Coinstar machine into the store nearby and get cash from customer service for the amount on the voucher
• Create a Coinme account and purchase a bitcoin/crypto voucher (free crypto wallet) for reclaiming cash at a participating Coinstar machine

Coinstar also offers a host of other services to assist businesses, such as retail and financial institution hassle free coin counting and deposit services, for money collected in coin from customers. But for our purposes, we will focus on the Coinstar locations and why you were robbed at that location, incurring physical and personal injuries in a robbery.

Why Are Robberies at Coinstar Locations So Common?

People using a Coinstar need to walk up to it holding a bag of their coins. The purpose of using a Coinstar is to get money back from a pile of coins. You are less likely to use a Coinstar kiosk if you only have a handful of coins. In that case, you are much more likely to just use those coins the next time that you make a random purchase at the store, to pay for your merchandise in coins instead of paper money. But when you are using a Coinstar kiosk, you usually have a big bag of coins, and that is going to be very attractive to a thief and robber.

When you approach the Coinstar machine, you must stand there with your bag of coins and decide what type of gift card you want to receive. Then, you must carefully put your coins into the silver tray in the kiosk and tilt the tray to allow the coins to run into the machine. The machine will tally up the amount of money you are earning, but this is a timely process. It does not happen all at once. Sometimes there are some coins that do not go through the first time, and those coins will come out of the coin return slot. Then you need to put those coins carefully back into the machine.

Why Do People Keep Getting Robbed at a Coinstar Location?

As you are using the Coinstar machine, it is a very noisy procedure. It is a virtual “cash cow” for robbers, thieves and muggers, because if you are standing at a Coinstar machine or approaching it – you basically are doing so because you have money! That means that someone intent on robbing you can just wait and watch you walk up to the machine to put your money into the kiosk.

Coinstar machines are inherently dangerous to use for some people. While your back is turned away from the rest of the world, and you are focused on getting your money properly into the Coinstar machine, any number of people can be planning to rob you behind your back. It is very difficult to use the Coinstar machine and look behind you. There are no safety mirrors on the Coinstar machine to tell you that someone or even a group of people planning to rob you are gathering behind you with malicious and dangerous intent.
