Convert Your Loose Change to iTunes Tunes

by admin on April 27th, 2006

Here at Geeky Traveller, I've got an ongoing obsession with vending machine innovation. For example, I was pretty excited when I spotted a novel (the book, not the adjective) vending machine in Heathrow last month.

Now I read about the folks at Coinstar, who apparently make machines that convert your loose change into actual money. Now you can convert your coinage into tunage (thanks to Planet Gadgets):

The machine will either spit out a gift card or a paper “eCertificate” instead. The eCertificate can then be used to buy products online. In addition to iTunes Music Store, Coinstar has redemption programs established with Virgin Digital, Borders, Hollywood Video, Amazon.com and other mass-market retailers.

From pocket change to Shakira. Who knew?
